New Demand Network Solution, Tightly Integrated with
Existing Supply Network Solution, Strengthens E2open Platform
REDWOOD CITY, Calif., June 23 -- E2open, the leading
provider of on-demand, multi-enterprise demand and supply network solutions,
today announced E2open 7.0, empowering companies with a single platform for
collaboration, visibility and business process control across both the demand
and supply sides of the enterprise.
Today's manufacturing models have evolved from chains into
networks, consisting of thousands of outsourced trading partners working to
operate as an integrated global enterprise. The ability to balance supply with
demand, while always a major challenge, has become increasingly complex,
requiring a new class of solutions.
"Modern day manufacturing requires consistent
real-time data in order to enhance network visibility, connect networks to internal
processes, reduce risk and balance supply and demand 'on the fly,'" said
Mark Woodward, President and CEO, E2open. "With E2open 7.0 we are
delivering just that. This is the first and only solution that offers
multi-enterprise manufacturers the ability to shape demand and supply
simultaneously and truly thrive in the 21st century global marketplace."
Launching E2open 7.0
E2open 7.0 is comprised of a broad suite of
out-of-the-box, best practice solutions using a SaaS delivery model, allowing
companies to manage their end-to-end, integrated, multi-tier demand-supply
network. Additionally, E2open 7.0 eases trading partner on-boarding through the
support of a multitude of multi-enterprise integration channels and proven best
practices for rapid connection of global supply chain participants. The net
benefits: rapid time to value, minimized internal IT resources and improved
profitability. This release includes the introduction of the E2open Demand
Network Solution as well as enhancements to the E2open Supply Network Solution
and E2open Outsourced Partner Network Solution.
The E2open Demand Network Solution enables companies to
address today's unprecedented demand volatility by providing the ability to
sense "shelf back" demand fluctuations, evaluate multiple potential
impacts and then dynamically respond. E2open Demand Network provides a
collaborative platform that includes functionality for order management,
customer-facing vendor managed inventory and forecast collaboration, as well as
shipment tracking functionality in order to provide end-to-end visibility
across the demand network.
With tight integration between the E2open Demand Network
and E2open Supply Network Solutions, E2open 7.0 is the industry's first
end-to-end demand-supply network solution delivered on a single SaaS-based
platform.
E2open 7.0 extends the capabilities of the E2open
Outsourced Partner Network Solution, which enables a completely outsourced
manufacturing process - from planning to execution - reducing the risk of
outsourcing through extended value chain visibility and execution control of
orders and inventory in asset light environments. E2open Outsourced Partner
Network is a suite of products that provide OEMs with end-to-end visibility and
control across multi-tiered manufacturing networks. The products provide
improved operational efficiency in outsourced manufacturing, improved supply
and quality assurance, as well as continuous performance monitoring of trading
partners.
"Many manufacturers have already made strides in optimizing
the supply-side of their demand-supply network. However, in today's tough
economic environment, it is increasingly critical for companies to also get the
customer-facing demand network processes optimized. Companies participating in
our research increasingly report customer-facing pressures and disruptions as
the top issues that need to be addressed in managing their business," said
Nari Viswanathan, VP/ Principal Analyst, at Aberdeen Group. "In enabling
seamless visibility and execution across these distributed networks,
manufacturers need to work with vendors that offer tight integration between
demand- and supply-related processes and organizations, in order to survive the
downturn and maximize the opportunity of a recovering economy."
The underpinnings of the new platform are E2open
Multi-Enterprise Foundation and E2open Multi-Enterprise Integration. Together
these product suites form the basis for all E2open solutions, delivering key
capabilities for multi-enterprise integration, multi-enterprise business
process management, exception management, business intelligence, and operations
management. The SaaS-based delivery of these solutions enables scalable
collaboration, visibility and control across the global demand-supply network.
Also included are proven tools and services for easy qualification and
on-boarding of new network participants.
