Tech Data LogoCLEARWATER, Fla., Oct. 24, 2016 -- Tech Data Corporation (Nasdaq:TECD) today announced an exclusive agreement with Kony, a leading cloud-based enterprise mobility company, to rapidly deliver turnkey mobile applications to its network of solution providers in the United States through the company's Client and Mobile Solutions division. Kony, an industry leader among mobile application development platform (MADP) providers, is now extending its market-leading platform to help organizations of all sizes build innovative and omni-channel applications with speed, agility, and security.

"Tech Data is committed to providing our customers with the capabilities and experience to offer complete mobile solutions to their clients," said Bob Dutkowsky, chief executive officer of Tech Data. "As the adoption of mobile applications for business use continues to expand, we are pleased to add Kony's solutions to our portfolio and help our partners offer cutting-edge mobile application development, from design to launch. Kony's customized solutions enable consumers to take an important step forward in the digital transformations of their businesses."

Offered through Tech Data's channel of U.S. solution providers, the Managed Services solution enables organizations to rapidly and securely deploy mission-critical mobile applications with modest in-house expertise and financial resources.

Hogan, chairman and chief executive officer of Kony, Inc. "This offering combines the strength of the Tech Data customer base with Kony's market-leading platform to simply and predictably deliver low-cost, best-in-class mobile applications."

Kony has been named a Leader for the fourth consecutive year in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Mobile App Development Platforms (MADP) report.
