Automated supply chain solutions simplifies transition to the cloud

While many companies  struggle with advanced business processes and  migrating to the cloud to  implement end-to-end global  supply chain solutions, others are skipping this time-consuming step.

Instead of going through the long process of migrating internal applications,  developing extensive business process management (BPM)  solutions, and establishing business process and cross-industry database links,  they are opting for turnkey cloud-based supply chain management solutions. 

Skeptics of no-code BPM and cloud migration, although applauding the ability of BPM to simplify the integration of supply chain business applications, still view the steps  needed to implement a BPM solution for "big data" intensive and time-critical supply chain solution as to complex. 

Additionally home grown BPM line of business solutions simply don't go far enough and move fast enough  to meet the needs of high technology supply chains.  And that's not necessarily because BPM doesn't work great. Its simply because it takes too long to implement industry-to-industry BPM supply chain networks and tap the best  and most time-critical  "big data" resources. 

Part of the problem is that it still takes high level information workers to implement the extensive business processes needed. Even with those skills in hand, the other problem is that the supply chain network of high technology vendors and products is too vast, too complex and too dynamic for an individual company to keep up with.

On the other hand, turnkey cloud based supply chain solutions, that have integrated  well-categorized and real time  "big data" vendor and vendor product analytics, free high technology companies from not just their dependence on  highly skilled information workers but  high-priced IT programmers. Besides allowing businesses to reduce operational demands on their staffs, turnkey supply chain solutions allow companies to have supply chain models and networks that are far more effective than what they could do in house.

Supply chain management solutions that integrate real time "big data" vendor and product analytics have been well received.  E2Open, a provider of cloud-based global trading network solutions,  is a case in point. The company has seen its revenue jump in the order of 30 percent year-to-year and offers guidance that suggests the same for 2013 

E2Open has to its credits clients that have some of the most demanding supply chain network requirements. The most notable are from the electronics industry.  Electronics companies, such as semiconductor and disk drive companies, have hundreds  of different of vendors from which they buy thousands of different products.  For a typical electronics end-product, there can easily be 100 different vendors involved in its production.

The allure of E2Open's solution for high tech companies is that it tackles the "big data" problem and the supply chain integration problem as an  integrated one-stop solution.  E2Open's solution  ties together "its industry specific" trading network directly to a specific clients internal network. Using the solution, high tech companies no longer have to worry about keeping "big data up-to-date", search for new big data resources, or  tying together their business processes to hundreds of different vendors supply chain processes and models.  One simple connection to the E2Open network eliminates all of these tasks.
