E2open and AMD to Discuss Strategies for Better Outsourced Supply Chain Management in Upcoming Webinar

FOSTER CITY, Calif., April 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- E2open will be hosting a webinar, "Achieving Real-Time Visibility in an Outsourced Supply Chain - The AMD Story," on Wednesday, April 29, 2015 at 11:30 a.m. (ET) / 8:30 a.m. (PT).  Attendees can register to join the webinar at: http://sctvchannel.com/AMD_Visibility.php.

During this webinar, moderated by Dan Gilmore, President and Editor in Chief of Supply Chain Digest, Katrin Schulenburg, Senior Director of IT at AMD, and Geoffrey Annesley, General Manager, Semiconductor at E2open will examine how AMD is working with E2open to capitalize on the many benefits of outsourcing, including further aligning operations and finance to accelerate decision-making.  

Attendees of this webinar will learn the following:

• How to overcome supply chain visibility and collaboration challenges when moving to an outsourced manufacturing model;
• How operations and financial processes can be integrated to drive competitive advantage;
• What can be achieved today in terms of supply chain visibility and integration in an outsourced environment.

E2open provides AMD with real-time, end-to-end visibility and control across operations, to better respond to potential disruptions as they occur, improve global supply chain performance, and revent lost sales.

"Outsourcing is a key strategy for today's industry-leading companies as it helps to drive lower costs, reduce capital assets, and get products to market quickly, and more efficiently, than the competition," said Michael Schmitt, Chief Marketing Officer, E2open. "Several years ago, AMD made a decision to shift to a largely outsourced production model. We are pleased to have been able to help AMD successfully integrate its extended supply chain on a common platform that provides the visibility and integration the company requires, and aligns operations and financial processes to reduce costs and increase responsiveness."
