Cubewise awarded global contract with Tech Data Corporation
BOSTON, Dec. 6, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Cubewise, an award-winning global IBM business partner, announced that it has reached an agreement with Tech Data Corporation to deliver a financial planning and reporting solution spanning Tech Data's worldwide operations in America, Europe and Asia.

"Most notable benefits include a globally consistent reporting, planning and forecasting tool and process across the company, enabling transparency and accountability of financial performance and comparability across geographic regions, countries, and products and services."
Scott Walker, Tech Data CVP and Treasurer, explains, "Tech Data chose Cubewise as our implementation partner because of their global consulting capabilities and reach across North America, Europe and Asia, as well as its proven record of accomplishment in delivering and supporting complex IBM TM1 / Planning Analytics applications across multiple time zones and geographies."
