i2 Technologies

i2 was founded in 1988 by Sanjiv Sidhu and Ken Sharma, two visionaries in what was later to be coined the supply chain management industry. Sanjiv and Ken’s passion was to apply technology and best practices to eliminating inefficiencies in business. From humble beginnings in a 2-bedroom Dallas apartment where the first program was created, i2 has grown to have more than 900 customers, and 500 deployments in the last year alone.

i2, a leading supply chain optimization company, utilizes a radical process methodology to help companies deal with the variability that comes from today’s gap in managing supply and demand. This methodology combines integrated planning and execution to allow customers to integrate disparate planning systems with workflow management systems to optimize their businesses performance in real time. Products are designed to meet customers’ business needs around five optimizations – Revenue and Profit Optimization, Spend Optimization, Production Optimization, Fulfillment Optimization and Logistics Optimization.

i2’s core competencies surround the end-to-end supply chain including products in Supplier Relationship Management, Supply Chain Management, Demand Chain Management, Service Parts Management and Transportation.

i2 develops solutions and supports customers around the clock, around the world. It has office locations in the regions of North America, Europe/Middle East/Africa, Japan, and Asia Pacific.

i2 Technologies is headquartered in Dallas, Texas and recently was purchased by JDA. Its web site is www.i2.com.
