i2 creates innovative solutions that generate measurable value for business. Our intelligent planning and optimization software, RHYTHM®, helps companies maximize efficiency, collaborate with suppliers and customers, conduct intelligent eBusiness over the Internet, and become more responsive to market demand. i2's world-class customers learn to make better decisions, faster than their competitors.

i2 was founded in 1988 on the principle that manufacturing planning could not only be executed faster but also be based on business goals and enterprise conditions. Since then, i2 has consistently developed new intelligent planning technologies for every phase of producing, delivering and selling goods and services, including solutions that support intelligent eBusiness and eCommerce.

This cycle of buy-make-move-store-sell is called the supply chain, and today i2 Technologies is the leading provider of supply chain optimization solutions, with customers worldwide. Our RHYTHM family of software provides comprehensive decision support across both inter-enterprise and intra-enterprise supply chains: from your suppliers' suppliers to your customers' customers.

Now we are delivering a new set of solutions that enable BPO, or Business Process Optimization - a new layer of decision intelligence for planning and optimizing across multiple enterprises. BPO tightly integrates forward-thinking supply chain planning with every key business process - from superior product design to better customer relationships. With BPO, your enterprise connects front-end Web applications with back-end process optimization for intelligent eBusiness.

But despite all of the growth and innovation i2 has experienced over the years, our core beliefs have not changed. We are still about making better decisions, faster, based on the real constraints and goals of your business. And every i2'er is motivated and dedicated toward providing our customers with the highest level of business value.
