To deliver on its goal of bringing the power of the i2 Business Content Library to customers worldwide, recently i2 Technologies, Inc., the supply chain results company, announced an agreement with HCL Technologies, one of India's leading global IT services companies. The companies will leverage HCL's strength in IT services and vast experience in system integration and implementation, with i2's deep supply chain management domain knowledge and market-leading products, to create innovative solutions for companies in the supply chain management domain.

"As global supply chain management continues to grow increasingly complex, many companies are facing pressure to become more agile in their supply chain planning," said Ram Krishna, Corporate VP, Enterprise Transformation Services (ETS), HCL Technologies.
