Kevin O’Marah, Lead Researcher on the AMR Supply Chain Top 25 described the importance of analytics for leading supply chain companies.  “I recently saw a demonstration of Oco’s product sets for business intelligence (BI) and was impressed. What stood out was the power of simplicity the Waltham, Massachusetts-based software-as-a-service (SaaS) vendor had managed to capture. From its easy user interface (UI) to the logic of how and why it might help companies manage their supply chains better, Oco took me from zero to 60 in seconds.” said Kevin O’Marah, chief strategy officer, AMR Research in the July 2008 AMR Research Report, “Complexity Tamed.”
