We're proud to share that DSL Telecom has been named Zoho Partner of the Year, South Africa for 2025, for the third year running. The award was presented at the Zoho MEA Regional Inspire 2026 event on 21 January 2026, hosted at The Ritz-Carlton, DIFC in Dubai.
Representing DSL Telecom on the day, Managing Director Dean Schreuder and Technical Director Paul Wilson accepted the award on behalf of the entire team. For us, the recognition is not about the moment on stage. It's a reflection of the work behind it - careful Zoho implementations and solutions built to deliver real, lasting value for our customers.
What Is Zoho MEA Regional Inspire?
Zoho MEA Regional Inspire is where Zoho partners across the Middle East and Africa come together to learn what's coming next, share what's working in the field, and connect directly with Zoho's teams. It's a day built around practical insight - product direction, partner enablement, and the conversations that help turn new capability into real-world outcomes.
Beyond the formal sessions, Inspire creates space for collaboration. It is where partners compare notes, trade best practices, and return with ideas that can immediately improve how customers use Zoho.
What This Award Means for Our Customers
Being named Zoho Partner of the Year, South Africa is a proud moment for DSL Telecom, but the real value of this recognition is what it signals to the businesses we support. It confirms you are working with a partner trusted by Zoho for the standard of delivery, the quality of implementation, and the consistency of results.
In practical terms, it means your Zoho environment is implemented with care and guided by experience. It means you receive advice that is clear and grounded, focused on what will genuinely improve your operation rather than adding features you do not need. And it means you are supported by a hands-on South African team that understands local business realities, while applying global best practices that keep your setup stable as you grow.
Highlights from Zoho Inspire 2026
Winning the award wasn't the only highlight from Zoho Inspire. The event also gave us clearer insight into Zoho's roadmap and the improvements partners can bring back to their customers. We use what we learn there to keep customer systems aligned with best practices and to identify updates worth adopting - pratical changes that strengthen performance, usability, and long-term value.
