Jane Barrett, research director, AMR Research

Analyst Insight: Not sensing the upturn in the economy is almost as bad as being hit with the downturn. Value chains have slashed inventories in their effort to remain cash-positive.

To lower operating expenses, companies should look to both cost savings (via efficiency gains) as well as cost avoidance (via accuracy improvements).
