Computer Associates (CA), one of the world’s largest management software companies, today announced its agreement with Kuwait’s Public Warehousing Company (PWC) and will see PWC Logistics roll out CA’s Unicenter infrastructure solutions to improve its enterprise IT management capabilities and maintain its leadership position as the region’s leading total supply chain provider. The agreement with PWC was made through CA’s Kuwait reseller, Kuwait Danish Computer Company (KDCC).
Additionally, PWC’s newly established IT arm, PWC Technology, will be tasked with the implementation of CA’s Unicenter solutions for the Kuwait customs project.
“CA is pleased to announce its dual partnership with PWC, as it means that CA’s Unicenter enterprise IT management solutions will be rolled out across PWC as well as PWC Technology’s customer, Kuwait Customs Authority,” said Mahmoud El Ali, Gulf countries manager at CA. “PWC is a market leader in supply chain and its decision to build on this partnership is a testament to the business benefits that CA Unicenter offers to any organization.”
