Manny Perez Joins Cubewise as Technology Executive and Endorses Apliqo C3SYDNEY, May 19, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Manny Perez, creator of TM1 (IBM Cognos TM1), has joined Cubewise in the role of Technology Executive. He will act in a non-executive capacity to provide advice and leadership. In particular, he will be working closely with the Apliqo C3 development team to help in the next generation of pre-built Performance Management applications. Manny Perez has come out of retirement - convinced by the clear value of the Apliqo C3 and will help realise its full potential. "Along with the fast growth of Cubewise's Pulse for TM1 and their first North American office opening in Boston a couple of weeks ago, it is an exciting time to be a part of the company. I have observed its growth and success over the years and the loyalty and enthusiasm of their customers at various user meetings at which I have spoken. I can only attribute this to the value and results they must be delivering to their clients. It is for this reason and the potential I see in C3 that I have decided to join Cubewise" said Perez. Perez went on to say, "It makes absolute sense that the time has come for pre-built Best Practice applications such as Apliqo C3. One of the most exciting aspects is that C3 is the first truly portable TM1 business application - it is not a blueprint - it is a robust set of Performance Management business practices in exactly the same way that SAP is a robust se of operational business practices." Daniele Tedesco, CEO of Apliqo and Managing Director of Cubewise Switzerland said, "It is really exciting to have Manny on board - his invention of TM1 started a slow, grass-roots revolution in Performance Management over the last 30 years and we are excited to be able to work with him on the next logical step of this revolution." "We have always admired Manny's vision. He saw so clearly right from the beginning where Performance Management was going. Spreadsheets were the first chapter of the story and Perez effectively wrote the next chapter with TM1 being the first Functional Database. Unified Performance Management applications like Apliqo C3 will be the third chapter of the story" added Jason Tranfield, Director of Cubewise. "Needless to say, we're flattered and excited that Manny wants to work with us on the development and direction of Apliqo C3." Since 2004, Cubewise has been enabling strategic TM1 solutions globally with over 300 customers and innumerable projects across reporting, planning and analytics. Apliqo is the first company to achieve a Best Practice Unified Performance Management solution with the best technology and embedded business best practices from proven business and technology leaders.
