Here is a recent story the was published across a global IT media outlets like NetworkWorld and CIO. The focus on the story is supply chain and how cloud technology has a chance to address things that have not been solved with traditional software.
“When it comes to supply chain where the focus is on inter-company coordination and collaboration among hundreds of companies on a global scale, cloud becomes more than just very good IT economics. It becomes the means by which entirely new information sharing models become possible.”
That’s my favorite line (because I wrote it). Apologies for a little self promotion here, but the story is about a very real opportunity. Think about how big supply chain is and how much money is wasted each day due to lack of visibility and control. It’s staggering. Even small incremental improvements can drive massive savings and operational efficiency.
