E2open to Discuss New Product Introduction and S&OP Strategies at the 2014 Consumer Goods Business and Technology Leadership Conference

FOSTER CITY, Calif., Oct. 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- E2open (NASDAQ: EOPN), the leading provider of cloud-based solutions for collaborative planning and execution across global trading networks, will be participating in the 2014 Consumer Goods Business and Technology Leadership Conference, which will be held from October 21-24 in Orlando, Florida.

Rich Becks, E2open's General Manager, Industry Value Chains, will present his views on "The Future of the Connected Company: Closing the Gap between New Product Introduction (NPI) and the Supply Chain" in a featured session on Thursday, October 23, at 3:25 p.m. (ET) in the St. Augustine hall, room C/D. During this session, attendees will learn how to integrate their suppliers for better visibility and collaboration around NPI ramp and how to keep their supply base aligned to the requirements of their new product. Becks will also highlight strategies and processes to respond quickly to unpredictable demand for new consumer goods products, with a focus on collaboration and the integration of planning, process, and the business network, based on E2open's work with five of Women's Wear Daily's top 10 largest beauty companies in the world.

"With the increased pace of new product introductions, particularly in the consumer goods industry, access to timely, accurate operational information is more critical than ever before," said Rich Becks, General Manager, Industry Value Chains at E2open. "By leveraging the cloud, E2open's solutions enable many of today's largest global brands to have better visibility into their extended value networks, which helps them synchronize volatile demand and supply to meet the needs of the fast-moving consumer goods market."

E2open will also be hosting a round table for attendees during the Networking Luncheon on Thursday, October 23, from 12:35-1:35 p.m. (ET) in salon 5/6, to discuss trust in the sales and operations planning (S&OP) process. E2open will offer an interactive dialogue on the opportunities to improve the speed, accuracy and effectiveness of S&OP processes, from creating a more optimal "end-to-end" plan, to executing the plan, to responding rapidly due to exceptions to the plan. Additionally, E2open experts will be available at the Exhibition Hall showcase to answer questions and offer industry-specific supply chain insight.
