Digital business and globalization continuously disrupt the way we operate in nearly every industry. Customers expect what they want, when and where they want it. You need to meet expectations and seamlessly adapt to the various hurdles and ever-changing needs of a multi-enterprise environment.

The pressure on IT to address increasingly complex supply chain challenges continues to grow. However, many IT organizations operate systems that were built for another era and lack the transparency and visibility needed for today’s supply chains. Eighty-four percent of chief supply chain officers (CSCOs) report that a lack of visibility is their biggest challenge.
