Okta EMEA Partner Awards: Our Premier Partners of 2019-2020
At its core, Okta is an integration company. And without our partners, we simply wouldn’t be as successful. Partners help us innovate, accelerate our growth, and allow for the best-of-breed options that modern organizations have come to expect. And in our current economic environment, preparing and collaborating with our partners has never been more important. No matter where they’re based, or what technology they use, we can help transform organisations to be future-ready, supporting their dynamic workforce and customer base.
Okta’s annual EMEA Partner Summit is an opportunity to engage and reconnect with our regional partner ecosystem, sharing business updates and insights from Okta leaders, and discussing strategies for joint opportunities ahead. We celebrate, acknowledge and thank partners who go that extra mile to make sure our joint customers are successful in adopting new technologies, securing their workforces and delivering delightful experiences. During the EMEA Partner of the Year awards, we virtually handed out awards to partners who continue to go above and beyond in their respective regions.
