i2 to Deliver Keynote at CESCA Luncheon
DALLAS--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--i2 Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:ITWO) today announced that Sweeni Ponoth will partner with Michael Aguilar, president of Intrepid Consulting LLC, to deliver the luncheon keynote at the Consumer Electronics Supply Chain Academy (CESCA) 2009, Friday, Jan. 9 at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas.
Manufacturers are feeling the squeeze from both sides of the supply chain. Bankruptcy of retailers is consolidating more control with a few key retailers, many of which do not have the resources to optimize the sales of a brand. Key suppliers going out of business leads to tighter supply and longer lead times giving the upper hand to manufacturers with diversified portfolios and high cash reserves. Expansive strategies that led to long term production contracts and high forecast volatility are resulting in excess inventory and stock-outs.
Ponoth, a director in i2's Retail and Consumer Industries business sector, and Aguilar, the former executive vice president of supply chain strategic initiatives at Panasonic Consumer Electronics, will offer solutions for companies dealing with these unprecedented market conditions in a presentation titled "Effective Multi-Channel Management Strategies: Maximize Revenue and Margins While Improving Free Cash Flow."
Attendees wishing to schedule a meeting with an i2 representative during CESCA may do so by emailing the company at [ info@i2.com ].
