i2 Technologies, Inc. (NASADAQ: ITWO) today announced that it has been positioned by Gartner Inc. in the Leaders quadrant of the “Magic Quadrant for Transportation Management Systems” report. The report was published April 6, 2009.
The evaluation was based on completeness of vision and ability to execute. In the report, Gartner states, “Leaders demonstrate vision and the ability to execute.

They also meet the needs of users throughout the transportation process, with offerings from strategic planning and procurement through to freight payment and audit functionality.”
