LOGICON 2009 to Feature i2 Presentation as Part of Global Logistics Summit
DALLAS--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--i2 Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:ITWO) today announced that Razat Gaurav, i2 senior vice president of global logistics, will deliver a presentation titled "Global Logistics 2015: The Next Generation of Transportation Management Innovation," at LOGICON 2009, a senior-level supply chain strategy conference for the food, beverage and consumer packaged goods industry, and their associated retailers. Gaurav's presentation will be featured in the Monday, Jan. 26 Global Logistics Summit and is scheduled to begin at 11:50 am ET at the JW Marriott Buckhead in Atlanta.
Current macro-economic trends related to fuel supply, commodity prices, environmental considerations, growth in emerging markets, and changing consumer behaviors are creating new challenges from a transportation and logistics perspective. At the same time, the volatility in the global economic environment is creating ever-shifting impacts on the logistics industry. As a result, companies that would like to use logistics as a competitive weapon need to think about breaking traditional paradigms.
Gaurav will outline the impact of these macro-economic trends on transportation and logistics, discuss a framework for a longer-term vision, and outline key attributes to achieving this end-state vision from a consumer goods and retail company perspective. In addition, he will discuss several innovation ideas related to transportation management to help accelerate the attainment of the end-state vision. Gaurav will also provide a case study to highlight how a global consumer products company is taking these ideas and putting them into action from a people, process and technology perspective to achieve optimal cost and service performance.
