supply chain

For many years now, the internet has promised to streamline the flow information and transactions for the different parties working together in the supply chain for physical goods. In reality, however, even some large players have faced a number of challenges in designing and implementing e-business linkages with upstream and downstream partners - whether for procurement, forecasting, planning, tracking, sales or self-service.

In some cases, the challenges are related to business issues: not every department and every company sees the need to change, or not everyone agrees on the business processes to be put in place. In other cases, the problem is related to the technology proposed: a particular product does not integrate with all the systems used by the various parties, the lifetime cost for buying and using a product is less than the efficiency savings achieved, the different parties cannot agree on the most suitable product to use, vendors lack experience to deliver robust and secure e-business workflows spanning multiple companies.
