Foster City, Calif.—May 28, 2014—E2open, a provider of cloud-based solutions for collaborative planning and execution across global trading networks, announced that it signed a strategic alliance agreement with KPMG LLP, the U.S. audit, tax and advisory firm.
KPMG services, combined with E2open’s software platform, can help automate and accelerate demand-driven supply chain initiatives, and enable companies to better align their planning, procurement and replenishment processes to actual consumption and demand changes. A demand-driven supply chain involves transforming the traditional supply chain into a highly integrated multi-tier supply network to eliminate information latency, reduce operating costs, and improve profitability and customer service.
“The pace of change in today’s global economy has placed a sense of urgency on organizations to adopt new technologies to drive faster growth and better proficiency,” said Mark Woodward, president and CEO, E2open. “E2open and KPMG bring together a wealth of supply chain knowledge and technology experience. With the recent addition of our joint client, Timken, a global bearing designer and manufacturer, we are working together with KPMG to help Timken achieve improved efficiencies and collaboration for the customer order process.”
