Ability to Tightly Integrate Demand and Supply Networks Sets E2open Apart

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., June 29 /PRNewswire/ -- E2open today 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."
