i2 Expands Offering for Supply Chain Operations Managed Services

Business Wire, Oct 9, 2007

DALLAS -- An ever-changing business landscape creates extreme supply chain complexities. This requires continuous adjustments for companies seeking maximum value from supply chain implementations. To gain an advantage, some of the world's leading supply chain innovators are leveraging knowledge process outsourcing (KPO). This involves allowing dedicated third-party supply chain experts to run specific supply chain functions, constantly adjusting supply chain solutions for added business efficiency.

Companies who work with i2 Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:ITWO) can benefit from i2's enhanced KPO offerings through i2 Operations Services and the i2 Center for Supply Chain Operations Management.

Leading personal computer manufacturer Lenovo outsourced its supply chain management operations to i2 after acquiring the personal computer division of IBM. Its goal was simple: to run the company with more efficient processes and decrease costs.

"i2 delivers a total business solution driving a superior customer experience through our Web channel across all customer segments driving the efficiencies our business requires," said Lenovo Vice President of Global eCommerce Ajit Sivadasan. "There are key drivers within the supply chain that drive complexities in delivering a superlative customer experience - especially when you are talking about the business processes involved in PC manufacturing. Imagine working with thousands of highly configurable products and standard SKU's, with constant new product introduction, price changes and promotions - all of which need to be synchronized with the supply chain to ensure a seamless customer experience. Lenovo has been using i2's Center for Supply Chain Operations Management over the past 12 months and it has been a key driver in our drive to gain operational efficiency and improve customer experience."
