penWeb has announced that it is now
rewarding its clients with Avios on their
LTE-A mobile data purchases.
As part of the launch, OpenWeb and Avios
will be awarding 2,000 bonus Avios to the first
150 customers that take up the offer. Avios
will be awarded into customers’ Avios Travel
Rewards Programme account or their British
Airways Executive Club Membership Account.
“Our partnership with the Avios Travel
Rewards Programme has allowed us
to reward clients for simply purchasing
their Internet connectivity from us,” said
OpenWeb CEO Keoma Wright. “In addition
to the 2,000 bonus points clients will receive,
they will also collect one Avios for every R6
they spend every single month.”
OpenWeb offers LTE-A Mobile data across
South Africa boasting average speeds
between 10Mbps and 50Mbps. This is a
true mobile WiFi solution as no fixed line
connection is needed.
The data packages start at R345.00
for 50GB and customers have a choice
between a month-to-month agreement
or a 24-month agreement that includes a
complimentary router.
“Our customers can earn Avios by purchasing
their monthly Internet connectivity, which
will bring that dream holiday that much
closer,” added Wright. “Avios can be used
for travel rewards, including towards flights,
hotels, car hire and experiences.”

estcon-Comstor Sub-Saharan Africa
has announced that partners of
Westcon Africa (Mauritius) Ltd in the
Indian Ocean Islands are now able to
procure and deliver the full spectrum of
the Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider
(CSP) solution, through its digital logistics
platform BlueSky.
“The Microsoft CSP programme enables
Westcon-Comstor partners to own the
end-to-end engagement of their clients’
Microsoft cloud solutions needs,” said
Faizal Bahemia, Africa Sales Director –
Westcon Africa (Mauritius) Ltd.
“By being able to directly provision, bill
and support Microsoft Cloud Services,
through BlueSky, our partners have
deeper insight into the trends taking
shape within their accounts.
“We believe that the introduction of CSP
in the region will enable us to further
our provision of a host of value-added
Microsoft services to our resellers. This
enables us to help partners accelerate the
cloud journey of their customers and sets us
apart from other distributors in the region.”
Through the Microsoft CSP programme,
Westcon-Comstor will work directly with
resellers to set the prices of product,
negotiate the terms of procurement and
bill customers locally. Key to the success
of CSP is the ability for a partner to be
able to attach services to product. This
translates into local resellers being able to
use the Westcon-Comstor services team as
their first point of contact for all customer
support. Together, these critical success
factors enable Westcon-Comstor customers
to fast-track their cloud service delivery. n
