Dell is known for its build-to-order model. Dell has enhanced
its own supply chain using i2 Supply Chain Management (SCM)
solutions to plan orders and signal suppliers every two hours,
which enables Dell to manufacture and deliver exactly what
its customers want.
Now Dell and i2 are working to deliver Dell’s supply
chain management expertise and i2 SCM for end-to-end Supply
Chain Management on award-winning Dell™ PowerEdge™ Servers
and PowerVault™ Storage – the same platform used
in Dell's own supply chain management system.
Dell-i2 Offering
Dell and i2 are working jointly to offer a suite of solutions
to accelerate your time to deployment and reduce your overall
cost of ownership. This suite includes:
- i2 Solutions for Value Chain Management, along
with Dell servers and storage: this combination has
already yielded significant results for Dell’s own manufacturing
operation in terms of cost reductions, low total cost of
ownership, and a reliable, stable operating environment.
Dell can deliver customized, replicable configurations
for your i2 solutions, which can help decrease time to
deploy and cost of ownership.
Why Choose Dell for your i2 Solutions?
Mission Critical SCM Experience:
- According to i2, Dell’s own implementation of i2 SCM
solutions – the “DSi2” system – is the largest and fastest
deployed implementation on Intel standard architecture
servers and Microsoft operating systems in the world.
DSi2 runs on 120 Dell servers and manages more than 250
suppliers delivering more than 3500 parts.
- Dell’s manufacturing organization required high reliability,
serviceability and availability on a global basis for
their 7x24 supply chain management system. Dell’s systems
and storage, based on proven industry standard architecture,
met their stringent requirements by offering a low total
cost of ownership.
Ease of Acquisition and Rapid Deployment

for a customer’s purchased i2 Solutions, reducing
time to deploy and cost of ownership and enabling customers
to put their value chain to work in meeting company goals
and attaining value.
