CLEARWATER, Fla., and ATLANTA (May 29, 2001) - Tech Data Corporation, a leading provider of IT products, logistics management and other value-added services, has selected Metify ABM Enterprise Edition from Armstrong Laing to help them improve customer and vendor management across the enterprise.
Tech Data began working with Armstrong Laing in 1997 when the company piloted an activity-based costing model within their United States operation using Armstrong Laing's Metify ABM client/server Team Edition software. Impressed with the success of the pilot, Tech Data expanded the initiative, which enabled it to better produce, analyze and understand customer profitability data and the value of vendor relationships. As a result, Tech Data is now able to design strategies that help its customers and vendors lower their cost of business and improve their own profitability.
"We wanted to take the success we've had with ABC in the U.S. and mirror it worldwide. In doing so, we plan to take advantage of the consolidation and benchmarking capabilities of Metify ABM," said Joseph B. Trepani, senior vice president and corporate controller, Tech Data. "The Enterprise Edition allows us to deploy our worldwide model allowing for local flexibility in the countries while still maintaining central control from headquarters."
"Metify ABM is unique in its ability to support an enterprise wide-deployment that provides not only the corporate view but also allows subsidiaries to effectively manage the business to their specific requirements" said Mike Sherratt, Armstrong Laing chief executive officer. "This helps companies like Tech Data make sound business decisions across the world based on detailed information which consolidates into one worldwide view of the business."
