Seizing the challenge, a focused team of IBM Global Business Services consultants and IBM researchers has developed a quite simple solution. IBM Inventory Optimization with SAP NetWeaver Business Intelligence is designed to deliver an efficient, repeatable and intelligent process for reducing and managing inventory levels.
