SOUTHFIELD, Mich., March 27, 2018 -- Stefanini Scala, an affiliate of Stefanini—a $1B global IT provider—received the "IBM Cloud Business Unit Excellence Award: Worldwide IBM Hybrid Cloud Digital Business Automation" at the IBM Think event, which took place March 19–22 in Las Vegas. The event was an opportunity for IBM customers and partners to share experiences and learn new ways to make the business world more efficient with new technologies.
The award was received by Stefanini Scala's Chief Technology Officer, Filipe Cotait, and Director of New Business, Danielle Franklin. "The award reinforces the partnership we have built with IBM and recognizes our excellence in delivering innovative, high-value-added projects in digital business automation," says Mr. Cotait.
