Improving B2B
Partnerships through better Supply Chain
Visibility by
Satya Samal, Head of Sales at Infosys
Globalization and challenges in economy are
pushing companies to re-engineer their
supply chain. The need to have actionable
information from across the company’s value
network is increasing every day.
Unfortunately the IT infrastructure
supporting today’s supply network is a
bottleneck, but companies are struggling
re-haul this infrastructure given the
investment needed. Microsoft
Supply Chain Visibility
addresses this challenge effectively. Built
using latest Microsoft technology, SCV
solution is lean and easy to deploy. It
enables B2B collaboration and visibility
while obviating the need for major
investment in the IT landscape. |
