E2open Executives Honored by Supply & Demand Chain Executive Magazine

FOSTER CITY, Calif., Feb. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- E2open, the leading provider of on-demand multi-enterprise demand-supply network solutions, today announced that President and CEO, Mark Woodward, and Senior Vice President, Strategic Supply-Demand Solutions, Rich Becks, were named as supply chain provider "Pros to Know" by Supply & Demand Chain Executive.

Supply & Demand Chain Executive Provider Pros to Know is a listing of leading individuals or groups of individuals from a software firm or service provider, consultancy, or analyst or research firm who have personally helped clients address the challenges of the recession and prepare for the recovery ahead. Woodward and Becks are being honored as 2010 "Pros to Know" in the provider category for their exceptional leadership at E2open.

"This year's Provider Pros to Know have shown themselves to be thought-leaders in the supply chain industry," said Andrew K. Reese, editor of Supply & Demand Chain Executive. "Highlighting the learnings that the Provider Pros to Know have taken out of the Great Recession provides our readers with a wealth of best practices that they can apply in their own supply chains, as well as insights into how leading organizations are positioning themselves for competitive advantage in the Great Recovery ahead."

Through the use of innovative technology and business process solutions, Woodward and Becks have helped E2open customers respond intelligently to current economic hardships, as well as prepare them to emerge from the recession profitably and with better organizational focus. In addition to working directly with customers, last year Woodward led a re-architecture of E2open's product set and messages, a move that resonated in the market and helped E2open grow 35 percent during a time of decreased technology spending. Additionally, Woodward invigorated E2open's strategic alliance effort, securing a partnership with Oracle, which made E2open the connectivity solution for Oracle Transportation Management.

Throughout 2009, Becks worked with customers to innovate their global demand-supply networks and continued to establish himself as a key industry thought leader. Frequently tapped on a range of issues, Becks was quoted more than a dozen times in 2009 on the topic of sustainable supply chains by supply chain and environmental publications.

"Rich and I are honored to be listed as 2010 'Pros to know,'" said Mark Woodward, President and CEO of E2open. "It's an exciting time to be in our industry as the global demand-supply network – and the technology and business processes that drive it – is being recognized in earnest for its strategic value."

The full listing of the 2010 Pros to Know will be available in the February/March 2010 issue of Supply & Demand Chain Executive magazine and e-book beginning in the third week of March and on the Supply & Demand Chain Executive Web site at SDCExec.com/2010Prostoknow.
