E2open Named Top Supply Chain Innovator

Ability to Tightly Integrate Demand and Supply Networks Sets E2open Apart.

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., -- E2open announced that the company has been recognized by Supply & Demand Chain Executive magazine as one of the top 100 supply chain solutions based on its record of providing customers with end-to-end visibility to improve demand-supply network functionality during this volatile economic time.

The 2009 Supply & Demand Chain Executive 100 identifies supply chain solutions and service providers that are helping customers respond to the downturn - and more importantly - position themselves for growth ahead. The award highlights a broad range of solutions and services targeted at a variety of industries, addressing the needs of companies of varying sizes, and assisting in the transformation of the diverse mix of functions that make up the supply chain.

Based on the submissions from end users and solution providers of more than 250 companies, the judging committee - which included the editorial staff of the magazine in conjunction with its editorial advisory board - recognized E2open as a company that is driving supply chain innovation.

E2open's award-winning solution is based on three major functional areas, which are delivered via a software-as-a-service (SaaS) model and designed to support increasingly complex demand-supply networks. E2open's three functional pillars include:

•Demand Network Solution - an on-demand multi-enterprise solution that allows companies to manage and automate their customer-facing processes in their extended supply networks
•Supply Network Solution - an on-demand multi-enterprise solution that allows companies to manage and automate the procure-to-pay process in their extended supply networks
•Outsourced Partner Network Solution - an on-demand multi-tier solution that provides OEMs with end-to-end visibility and control across their multi-tier outsourced manufacturing networks

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. These solutions deliver the SaaS infrastructure enabling 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.

"It is an honor to be distinguished among the Supply & Demand Chain Executive 100, especially since the award recognizes our primary goal - to provide a reliable demand-supply backbone to help our customers in any economic climate," said Mark Woodward, president and CEO, E2open. "E2open is committed to understanding modern global manufacturers and, through the use of SaaS-based technology, positioning them to respond intelligently to current economic hardships, as well as prepare to emerge profitably and with better organizational focus."
