Abstract

This IDC Manufacturing Insights report uses the IDC MarketScape model to provide an assessment of a number of providers participating in the worldwide supply chain demand planning market. The IDC MarketScape is an evaluation based on a comprehensive framework and a set of parameters that assesses providers relative to one another and to those factors expected to be most conducive to success in a given market during both the short term and the long term.

"Supply chain planning has become both central and critical to the success of the digitally enabled thinking supply chain, and demand planning specifically is a key component of supply chain planning overall. Growing complexity in the supply chain has made forecasting more difficult and forecast errors more prevalent, and the need for a competent demand planning system is central to the success of the broader supply chain," says Simon Ellis, global VP for IDC Manufacturing Insights' Supply Chain Strategies Practice.
