Logility Provides Collaborative e-Business Solutions for IBM`s eServer Series
Logility (Nasdaq: LGTY), the leading
supplier of business-to-business collaborative commerce solutions to power
e-Business and optimize the supply chain, today announced the general
availability of Logility Voyager Solutions(TM) on the IBM eServer iSeries
(formerly AS/400). Through the joint product solution, Logility and IBM allow
customers to quickly optimize their supply chain via the Internet while
providing superior customer service, increasing revenues and achieving
significant cost savings.
Logility Voyager Solutions installed on the IBM eServer iSeries, consists
of an Internet-based suite of B2B collaborative commerce applications for
CPFR(R) (collaborative planning, forecasting and replenishment), value chain
strategy, demand planning, promotion planning, inventory planning,
replenishment planning, supply planning and manufacturing planning. The
e-Business solution can be deployed via an enterprise client-server model or
through application service providers (ASP), both leveraging the eServer
iSeries platform.
The strengths of IBM`s hardware, software and consulting services combined
with Logility`s suite of supply chain management solutions, enable customers
to implement an e-Business solution for optimizing direct material planning,
sourcing, production and fulfillment for mid-sized businesses. The
announcement was made at the IBM Link 2001 Conference -- an event that brings
together manufacturing and distribution customers, suppliers and IBM Business
Partners.
"The eServer iSeries has a loyal customer base that is now able to
leverage the latest in e-Business and supply chain optimization through the
Logility Voyager Solutions suite," said Mike Edenfield, Logility CEO. "With
the current economic volatility, it is critically important that companies
gain greater supply chain visibility to optimize inventory, increase customer
service levels and drive top-line growth."
Logility Voyager Solutions is an integrated suite of e-Business and supply
chain optimization solutions that enable suppliers, manufacturers,
distributors and retailers to more effectively optimize activities along their

processes such as planning, forecasting, promotion planning, sourcing,
warehousing and transportation that can be executed via the Internet.
