DIGITAL SUPPLY CHAIN TRANSFORMATION – THE TIME IS NOW
In 2019, digital transformation projects were top-of-mind for supply chain leaders in every industry, and there’s no doubt the trend will continue in 2020 and beyond. Businesses remain focused on transitioning from the ERPs of yesteryear to the digital cores of today. They’re taking on projects that enhance supply chain planning and analytics, supplier collaboration, and procurement and supply chain efficiencies. Our teams are busy working with clients to assess, roadmap and deploy powerful solutions.
We formed new partnerships with Anaplan and Tradeshift, and we rolled out several new industry-specific accelerators to help our customers achieve rapid time-to-value with SAP S/4HANA, IBP and Ariba. The “limitless” digital supply chain of the future was the theme of Bristlecone Pulse at MIT 2019, and you can certainly expect more from us on that topic in the year ahead.
