In an effort to showcase our profound passion for IBM Planning Analytics/TM1, our Control CC team asked Cubewisers about their ‘lightbulb moment’ experiences.

Meet Ramachandran, the General Manager of Cubewise and Apliqo in India. With a strong foundation in finance, Ramachandran’s curiosity about technology led him to explore ERP systems. In his search for a solution that harmonized his financial expertise with his technological interests, he discovered TM1. Captivated by its simplicity and power, he quickly recognized its potential. Looking ahead, Ramachandran sees a bright future for TM1, confident in its ability to drive success.

Tune in to our video to hear Ram’s full story.

At Cubewise, we’ve been supporting TM1 applications for a while and we heard a few stories. Does this resonate with you?
