As the data center, cloud and telecommunications industries continue to converge, W.Media and BICSI South Pacific consolidate their relationship
The partnership between W.Media ANZ and BICSI South Pacific has created a synergy in terms of programme content, convention participation and knowledge exchange. It will be furthered through 2024 with the colocation of BICSI and W.Media at the Perth Convention on 30th May and with BICSI as a key contributor to Australia Digital Infrastructure Week which runs from Tuesday 10th to Thursday 12th September 2024.
In the words of Simon Fletcher, Managing Director of W.Media ANZ: “W.Media ANZ has benefited considerably from the support of audiences, sponsors and media in the conventions we have run in Australia and New Zealand since 2022”.
He highlights also the important role that key partners have played in the development and execution of W.Media conventions over the past few years, in particular the partnership with BICSI South Pacific which he sees as “contributing further expertise in the areas of communications technologies and management and this has been particularly valuable in compliment to our core focus on data centers, cloud and digital infrastructure”.
The value of partnership is shared as the rising importance of networks and connectivity to the data center ecosystem has coincided with the parallel increase in the importance of data centers to BICSI South Pacific members. Paul Stathis, CEO, BISCI South Pacific outlines these benefits: “It reinforces the trend towards connectivity inside and around data centers as a key area of interest to our members. Their expertise is valuable to data centers as their ecosystem relies increasingly on connectivity and networks, therefore we look forward to continuing our partnership with W.Media and growing further to the benefit of both parties”.
