Plante Moran’s Digital Transformation Services (DTS) team has taken home the Plex by Rockwell Automation Partner of the Year award for the fourth time since the award was created in 2018.
According to Jerry Foster, chief technology officer and co-founder of Plex by Rockwell Automation, “[This award] gives us the ability to recognize our customers and partners, it gives the partners and customers in the ecosystem something to aspire to, and also shows them that we are paying attention to what they are doing and are impressed in how they are helping us grow our business.”
Over our nearly two-decade relationship with Plex by Rockwell Automation, we’ve had the opportunity to serve Plex customers in nearly 20 countries. DTS practice leader Doug Hockenbrocht states, “[Our partnership with Plex] has helped us serve and get to know and build relationships with clients maybe we wouldn't met otherwise, particularly in a lot of different countries in the last couple of years.”
In an interview at the PowerPlex at ROKLive Conference in June 2022, Foster shared why Plante Moran was given the prestigious award from Plex by Rockwell Automation — namely, dedication to the mutual success of the Plex Smart Manufacturing Platform and Plante Moran, their role in helping Plex by Rockwell Automation exceed their sales goals for the year, and their initiative to assist Plex by Rockwell Automation customers in the Asia-Pacific region. "We feel they went above and beyond of what’s exemplified and in what we look for in a premier partner," says Foster.
Doug and fellow DTS practice leader, Monti Piccioni, accepted this award among other members of the Digital Transformation Services (DTS) team on stage at the PowerPlex at ROKLive Conference in June 2022. Hockenbrocht said, “We are honored to receive that award, and it’s really a tribute to our team, but certainly a tribute to our mutual clients and customers.”
