A Message from Sanjiv Sidhu, Founder and Chairman of the Board of i2

This year, as we celebrate the 20th anniversary of i2’s founding, I reflect on years past with an enormous sense of pride in all we have accomplished in partnership with our customers. In our early days, my fellow co-founder Ken Sharma and I spent countless hours meeting with customers. We wanted to discover what their problems were, learn what kept them up at night, and determine how we could change their businesses for the better. Focusing on what the customer needed, rather than what we had to offer, helped us to time and again deliver the right solution to their supply chain challenges.

Today, our approach to addressing the world’s toughest supply chain issues is much the consame. Our intense focus on understanding the specific needs of every company we work with continues to serve us—and our customers—extremely well.

While our core value of delivering rapid, measurable, world-class business results has stayed the same, the ways companies interact with their suppliers and customers have changed. As a result, i2 emphasizes innovation, continually developing new services and technologies to address the constantly changing business and economic environment around us.

The fruits of our labor are displayed on a grand scale each year at i2 Planet, where we gather with our customers and our partners to share best practices and learn what they’ve achieved through their implementations of i2 solutions and services. Through the years, i2 Planet has provided an unmatched opportunity for discovery and growth, truly making it the one supply chain best practices forum you can’t afford to miss.

Our tradition of value realization will be reflected this year at i2 Planet Phoenix, as we explore the latest supply chain challenges and successes shaping business today. Please join me as we engage in what promises to be the liveliest discussion and information sharing on supply chain management you’ll experience all year.
