Toshiba's Computer Systems Group is using i2's demand chain management application to offer custom-configured computer products and to ship orders to its customer base, according to Scott Hampson, vice president of operations and supply chain management at Toshiba.
The application "provides customers with the tools necessary to make intelligent business decisions, based on the rules and product information provided for within the system," Hampson said.
