JDA
Software Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: JDAS),
The Supply Chain Company®, today announced that Marvell
(NASDAQ: MRVL) has selected supply chain management solutions developed
by i2 Technologies, Inc. to enhance customer responsiveness and
operational efficiencies across its global supply chain. Marvell, a
worldwide leader in integrated silicon solutions for the storage,
communications and consumer electronics industries, selected the i2
solutions in the fourth quarter of 2009. JDA completed its acquisition
of i2 on January 28, 2010.
After a detailed evaluation process, Marvell selected the solutions to
improve its end-to-end processes, including demand management, supply
planning, capacity planning, inventory management, allocation
management, real-time order promising and sales and operations planning.
Supported by an advanced data management infrastructure, these solutions
integrate with Marvell’s existing ERP systems to help deliver business
and IT benefits across the enterprise.
"As Marvell continues to grow, we are looking to take customer service
to the next level while controlling operating costs,” said Marvell
Chief Financial Officer Clyde Hosein. "Our evaluations concluded
that the solutions developed by i2 provided the most comprehensive and
scalable offering on the market, along with a team of professionals who
had the semiconductor industry expertise necessary to help implement
best practices.”
Through its acquisition of i2, and with the addition of Marvell to its
customer roster of world-class semiconductor companies, JDA will build
on the rich heritage of supply chain management success established by
i2 in the discrete manufacturing industry over a period of more than 20
years. In addition, Marvell joins a premier group of companies in the
semiconductor industry already using the i2-developed planning suite to
enhance supply chain responsiveness and improve customer service while
maintaining right-sized inventory levels and lower operating costs.
"We are excited to partner with Marvell on its supply chain
transformation journey,” said Kelly Thomas, JDA senior vice
president, manufacturing. "Marvell’s selection reinforces our
leading position in the high-technology industry. We are looking forward
to delivering the supply chain results and value our customers have come
to realize and expect from us.”
