It's a statistic that's difficult to ignore, and one that underscores the importance of organisations like Charlotte’s Wish which are working tirelessly to support young Australians and raise awareness of the lasting impact of bullying and mental health challenges.

Last week, SoftwareOne was proud to attend the Charlotte's Wish Gala as a 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗺 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗼𝗿, supporting a community united by a common goal: ensuring every young person has access to the support they need, when they need it most through Kids Helpline.

A heartfelt thank you to Charlotte's Wish team, Kids Helpline, event partners, sponsors, and attendees for making the evening such a success.

Together, we can help build a future where every young person feels safe, valued, and empowered to thrive.

Two organisations. One stronger future for the channel.

On 12 October, Crayon Channel becomes SoftwareOne across APAC. This marks the final step in a transition announced in January and rolled out market by market since our two businesses combined last year.

As Warren Nolan, SVP of Channel & Strategy, puts it: "It's a strategic next chapter that allows us to bring together the best of both of our organisations."

Because in APAC, partner relationships are built locally, on a real understanding of how each market buys, regulates, and adopts technology.

The relationships, the people, and the partner-led way of working remain firmly in place. Everything our partners value about working with us, now amplified.

This October, Crayon Channel will become SoftwareOne across APAC.

While our name is changing, our commitment to our partners is not.

The same team, mindset, and focus on helping our channel ecosystem grow will continue. What we're gaining is greater scale, broader capabilities, and more opportunities to support our partners across the region.

For partners across APAC, our message is simple: your success remains our success.

Your success remains our success.

In the recent interview with CRN, Vikas Bhonsle, Head of Channel APAC, shared on what the combination of the two entities can mean for partners: the relationships, the trust, and the people stay the same, but the opportunity gets significantly bigger.

For partners, that translates into more scale, deeper expertise, broader services, and access to a portfolio that spans cost optimisation, FinOps, cloud, security, data, and AI.

"We don't see partners simply as part of our route to market, we see them as an extension of our team."
