SoftwareOne Holding AG has been named the Global Channel Sales winner in the 2026 GitHub Services and Channel Partner of the Year Awards, a recognition that highlights the company's expanding partnership with GitHub and its ability to help organizations modernize software development at scale. The announcement, reported via NEWMEDIAWIRE, positions SoftwareOne as a key channel ally for GitHub as enterprises increasingly seek to streamline DevOps practices and accelerate digital transformation.
The award matters because it signals SoftwareOne's success in building a comprehensive GitHub practice that spans advisory, implementation, managed services, and specialized delivery. For customers, that translates into more productive developers, stronger DevOps practices, and faster time-to-value from their software development investments. Kiril Izov, Global Services Director at SoftwareOne, said the recognition is a testament to the passion, expertise, and commitment of teams around the world. "What started as a focused initiative driven by passionate colleagues has evolved into a strategic partnership that helps customers innovate faster and get more value from their software development and cloud technologies," Izov said.
The implications extend beyond a single award. As organizations face mounting pressure to modernize applications and adopt AI-enabled software development, the ability to roll out GitHub solutions globally is a competitive differentiator. SoftwareOne's presence in over 70 countries and a team of about 12,000 professionals gives it the scale and local expertise to support enterprises wherever they operate. That global delivery network allows customers to align software development directly with business goals, rather than treating DevOps as a siloed IT function. The recognition also reinforces SoftwareOne's continued investment in cloud, application modernization, DevOps, and AI, areas that are central to how companies create measurable business value from technology.
The GitHub Services and Channel Partner of the Year Awards recognize global and regional partners for customer impact, innovation, and business outcomes with GitHub technologies. Winning the global channel sales category suggests SoftwareOne has demonstrated consistent excellence in driving GitHub adoption and delivering results across its customer base. For organizations evaluating GitHub partners, the award provides a credible signal of SoftwareOne's proven ability to execute at scale. More broadly, the honor underscores the growing importance of channel partnerships in the software development ecosystem, where vendors like GitHub rely on specialized partners to help customers navigate complex migrations and optimize their toolchains.
SoftwareOne is listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange and Euronext Oslo Børs under the ticker symbol SWON. More information about the company's offerings is available at www.softwareone.com. The original release can be viewed on www.newmediawire.com.
