i2 Offers Store Replenishment Software as a Service Solution to Mid-Market Retailers

NEW YORK--(Business Wire)--
Today at the National Retail Foundation (NRF) 98th Annual Convention and Expo,
i2 Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: ITWO) announced the availability of a store-level
forecasting and replenishment solution with the mid-market, high-growth retailer
in mind. i2 Store Replenishment Software as a Service (SaaS) addresses concerns
related to time-intensive and costly software implementations by delivering a
hosted solution that combines i2`s extensive implementation experience and
retail domain expertise in a proven replenishment application that drives the
supply chains of many multi-billion-dollar retailers.

"Companies do not have the luxury of doing large-scale IT implementations with
customizations, especially with the shrinkage in capital markets. Companies need
to still solve critical business problems. The approach to do that is to look at
the return on investment (ROI) as the parameter that most impacts software
investment decisions. The combination of short implementations and rapid payback
is difficult to achieve, but critical, for enterprises to achieve." said
Narayanan Viswanathan, vice president/principal analyst, Aberdeen. "SaaS
solutions offer a viable approach for enabling rapid business ROI with minimized
total cost of ownership in key areas of supply chain management such as supply
chain execution, procurement and sourcing, as well as supplier/customer
collaboration."

The benefits of i2 Store Replenishment SaaS are considerable:

* Rapid Deployment: Since the software is hosted by i2, the production system is
ready for testing at the start of the project. i2`s implementation team works
with the retailer`s IT organization to get the data inputs needed to create
forecasts and drive the replenishment plan. The expedited implementation enables
customers to quickly start reaping returns on their investment
* Low Cost of Entry: The hosted model matches the software costs with the
savings. With no up-front software license or hardware procurement expenses,
project costs are spread across the productive use of the software.
* No Surprises: All of the licenses, services, hardware, third-party software,
and maintenance costs are rolled into a single monthly fee, with no additional
costs for things like data administration or hardware upgrades. All of the care
and maintenance of the data is handled by i2.

"We believe this offering helps mid-market retailers strike the right balance
between customer-centric choice, product availability and efficient inventory
investments with an affordable, rapidly deployed solution offering, Our hosted
approach allows retailers to make incremental investments matched to their
individual business needs rather than large, up-front capital investments," said
i2 Senior Vice President of Retail and Consumer Industries Chuck Kramer. "i2
Store Replenishment SaaS enables retailers to better manage demand forecasts and
optimize inventory levels, and at the same time reduce stock-outs and markdowns,
more efficiently manage product distribution and increase visibility to
exceptions and key performance indicators."
