AMTeam.org消息：供应链管理软件提供商I2公司正在进行一项计划，这项计划将会把公司提供得商务套件在微软技术平台上进行标准化，它将帮助那些希望自己的供应链管理软件操作更加标准化的客户。

使用微软Outlook和Excel的客户将能够直接访问I2公司提供的软件，因为这些软件已经和微软平台的标准统一在了一起，另外，I2公司今后将可以在微软平台上开发供应链管理软件。

对于那些喜欢这种软件的客户来说，把目前的供应链管理软件统一到微软平台上使他们的管理变得更加的方便了快捷。

公司的总裁说，目前市场上的一些用户已经开始使用基于微软平台的i2公司的Master Data Management information cleansing and consolidation管理软件，而且用户对使用的新平台的软件反应良好。

I2 to standardize SCM suite on Microsoft technology

Supply change management (SCM) software vendor i2 Technologies Inc. has inked a deal to standardize its suite on the Microsoft technology platform -- a move it hopes will help customers who want to do much the same thing with their own supply chain operations.

I2 customers who use Outlook or Excel will now be able to directly access and manipulate their i2 applications from within those Microsoft applications, according to executives from both companies on hand for the i2 Planet 2005 user conference. As part of the deal, i2 will also develop its SCM software on the Windows platform.

For customers interested in doing so, the move by i2 offers a single software stack for them to work with beyond the Unix-based tools now in use, which could cut costs for some companies, said Pallab Chatterjee, president of solutions operations at i2. While customers have been able to select Windows as their i2 operating system before, the tighter linkage with Microsoft's Web services-based architecture will allow them to better integrate and collaborate on projects.

Some customers are already using i2's Master Data Management information cleansing and consolidation application with Excel as the interface, Chatterjee said.
