VIEW POINT

May 18, 2006 - Kinaxis has announced a new Web-based, on-demand service for its RapidResponse product line. In partnership with IBM Global Services, Kinaxis will offer software as a service (SaaS) to address some of the critical supply chain challenges facing OEMs, manufacturers and distributors that source and sell their products globally. The new offering securely connects RapidResponse to supply chain data residing in disparate systems, enabling an aggregated, multiple-enterprise view of the brand owner’s business. Ventana Research thinks Kinaxis is pursuing the right strategy in evolving its software into a package that easily integrates supply and demand data in real time from multiple tiers of the supply chain. However, the company needs to continue to differentiate its software and demonstrate its value in the growing market for sales and operations planning (S&OP) software applications.
