The failures (or alleged failures) seem to be sporadic and unrelated in many respects. Nike and Kmart are two entirely different organizations, yet both are apparently experiencing problems. However, Dell, Boeing, Home Depot, and Bristol-Myers are all very different companies, too, yet they have reported success with i2.

I have to wonder if Nike and Kmart's problems may have more to do, respectively, with New Balance (et al) and Walmart than i2? I wonder who or what might be to blame next quarter?

John and SB: The mission-critical nature of i2 software puts them in the spotlight. Whether it is code or some other implementation problem I know I don't have a clue. As for the value represented by i2 software, whatever the difficulties, I believe that they are on exactly the right track to help their clients substantially increase productivity with concept-to-customer B2B solutions, and in that sense I will be a fan even if they have bad days along with the good ones.
