At the end of May, we received at our Columbia office in São Paulo, the NetApp audit team led by NetApp's Channel Compliance Manager, Cindi Foster-Jones, accompanied by the local team from consultancy Price Waterhouse Coopers.

Periodically, NetApp carries out this audit process with its channels, as part of its Compliance program, to make sure that commercial transactions between companies are occurring in accordance with the rules established in the program, and Columbia had already successfully passed this process in previous years.

After detailed review work on more than two dozen commercial processes carried out between Columbia, its customers and NetApp, the audit team concluded the work by congratulating Columbia for meeting 100% compliance requirements, in addition to organizing all information necessary for the work to be completed efficiently.

Given the volumes and complexities of our commercial processes with NetApp, in addition to the level of detail carried out in this last process, we are proud to be able to attest to the level of precision, quality and organization of our company in relation to the way in which the processes are conducted. This is an important seal of quality to provide security to our customers and partners regarding the seriousness and reliability of our company.

Thanks to Marotti for leading the process, to Filipe and his team for organizing the information requested by NetApp, and especially to Jonathas, for all the support provided throughout the work! CONGRATULATIONS TEAM COLUMBIA!
