Information Technology

The information technology (IT) industry operates in a business environment where the state-of-the-art evolves faster and faster each year. IT companies must employ effective planning and proactive decision-making processes not just to stay competitive, but to stay in business. Product mixes are becoming more diverse and must be managed with sophisticated forecasting processes, portfolio analysis, and efficient Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP). Supply chain networks are also growing more complex and require real-time collaboration with suppliers and customers. And, in highly competitive markets with low margins, outstanding customer service is essential.
