Lenovo Chooses Steelwedge Integrated Business Planning Solution

PLEASANTON, CA — (Marketwired) — 05/14/13 — Steelwedge Software, Inc., the leader in cloud-based Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) solutions, today announced that Lenovo, the world-s second-largest PC manufacturer, has selected Steelwedge to power its global integrated business planning process.

Lenovo plans to deploy Steelwedge software as part of a strategic initiative to tightly align the company-s supply chain with dynamic market conditions and strengthen collaboration across its product management, supply chain and sales functions. The company believes this new system will enable it to continue its dramatic business growth, which has seen the company expand faster than its major competitors for over two consecutive years and rise from number four to two in the global PC industry in 2011.

“The new integrated business planning system, with Steelwedge software as a key part of the IT foundation, will allow us to more effectively synchronize our supply chain with market demand, while scaling our global business more efficiently and profitably,” explains Jon Pershke, vice president, Business Transformation/IT, Global Supply Chain, Lenovo. “We are confident this project will make our supply chain even more agile and responsive to changing customer needs and market conditions.”

“World class growth organizations, like Lenovo, understand that effective business planning is no longer a static annual event, but a collaborative ongoing orchestration uniting key operational stakeholders and real-time metrics,” said Glen Margolis, Chief Executive Officer of Steelwedge. “In a dynamic business environment, agility is an organization imperative for growth. We are pleased to support Lenovo with its continued, remarkable growth trajectory.”

Dedicated to building exceptionally engineered PCs and mobile internet devices, Lenovo-s business is built on product innovation, a highly-efficient global supply chain and strong strategic execution. Formed by Lenovo Group-s acquisition of the former IBM Personal Computing Division, the company develops, manufactures and markets reliable, high-quality, secure and easy-to-use technology products and services. Its product lines include legendary Think-branded commercial PCs and Idea-branded consumer PCs, as well as servers, workstations, and a family of mobile Internet devices, including tablets and smart phones.
