Being named a Leader the five IDC MarketScape reports on Supply Chain Planning marks another milestone achievement during a year of tremendous growth and innovation for the company. In Q2’22, o9 reported that its annual recurring revenue (ARR) through the first half of the year more than doubled compared to the same period the previous year. The potential power and broad applicability of the o9 Digital Brain platform continues to win the business of leading companies across a wide range of industry verticals, including retail, consumer goods and industrial manufacturing, high-tech and semiconductor, life sciences, automotive, telecom, and oil and gas.
