MARKHAM, Ontario –
ATI Technologies Inc. (TSE:ATY, NASDAQ:ATYT), a world leader in the supply of graphics, video and multimedia solutions, announced today that it has received the coveted Peak Performer™ award in the Best System Builder Program category at the most recent System Builder Summit™ in Orlando, Florida.
ATI was selected from more than 100 vendor corporations from the United States and Canada. The Company was identified as having the most targeted and comprehensive system builder strategy in support of its Radeon VE product.
Vendor nominees and winners were selected based on confidential surveys completed by system builders during the Summit, and based on presentations given during the event.
“We at ATI pride ourselves on the strength of our relationships with the system builder community – and this recognition confirms that our channel initiatives are valued,” said Tom Ward, Vice President, Distribution Sales, ATI Technologies Inc. “Retail customer and system builder acceptance of Radeon VE over the last month has been excellent, supporting our contention that we have a strong product and a strong marketing program in support of that product.”
“We like to do business with ATI because they are a total solution provider, in that they design, build and support their products by guaranteeing quality components, manufacturing, WHQL and technical support,” said Mike Daher, President, Go Microsystems. “Other board makers sell a branded technology on an unbranded board, whereas ATI sells a branded product and takes responsibility for it from top-to-bottom.”
