However, the dedicated efforts of the Cubro Americas team ensured that all necessary groundwork was meticulously completed, ultimately leading to the successful closure of the deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>University procurements typically require the involvement of a trusted reseller. In the case of our esteemed client, they had previously relied on Trace3 as their chosen reseller for much of their IT technology needs. As a reseller, Trace3 maintains partnerships with a diverse range of technology vendors through its distributor, TD Synnex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cubro has recently become one of TD Synnex&#8217;s strategic procurement technology vendors, establishing agreements for the United States, Canada, and Latin America. Through this partnership, customers benefit from a seamless delivery of Cubro products and solutions, ensuring a streamlined procurement process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The logistical and sales management expertise of Cubro played a pivotal role in ensuring the timely delivery of all products required for the project. Furthermore, our excellent technical support team provided comprehensive initial orientation training on the usage and management of Cubro products. This enabled the University\u2019s team to efficiently design and implement policies and configurations to meet their initial tool requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cubro and Witfoo will continue to investigate adding additional security tools to the configuration.
