The adoption of cloud-based solutions in New Zealand continues to accelerate, with public cloud services spending expected to reach NZ$5.1 billion by 2026. The alliance hopes to serve the thousands of New Zealand SMBs joining this transition and provide them with a single source of truth and end-to-end visibility for their business operations.

Charlie Wood, CEO, Wiise, said the partnership will provide SMBs in New Zealand with greater options, enabling local businesses to access more robust, tailored solutions as they scale and leap towards streamlined operations and data-driven decisions.
