  • Supply Chains Are Bigger Today, But Are They Better?

    January 7, 2010 | CIO

    As a core competency for businesses, "supply chain automation" seems like a management directive from the bygone eras of "knowledge management" and "reengineering." It harkens to the days of sending and receiving handwritten orders via fax, to lacking a thorough understanding of the true identities of the suppliers that exist in companies' downstream chains.

  • 2010-Risk or Opportunity?

    November 30, 2009 | SupplyChainBrain

    2010 is upon us. And much to our relief, economists are suggesting the possibility of an economic upturn somewhere in the next 12 months. But when exactly can we expect consumer behaviors to change? And how long will the entire recovery period last? More  »

  • Oracle and E2open Deploy BPN to Simplify B2B for Global Transport Processes

    November 25, 2009 | Gartner

    The multienterprise nature of transportation requires carriers and shippers to communicate bidirectionally. Oracle and E2open intend to address this by uniting Oracle Transportation Management (OTM) and E2open Logistics Network (ELN) business process network (BPN).

  • Visibility called key to managing complex supply chains

    November 23, 2009 | DC Velocity

    When the global recession hit last year, companies around the world found themselves stuck with inventory that suddenly stopped moving. Within days, the repercussions for cash flow started to become apparent. All that inventory meant lots of working capital was tied up in product —and was not available to pay the bills, says Rick Becks, senior vice president of E2open, a company that offers Web-hosted supply chain visibility tools.

  • Oh, What a Year

    November 19, 2009 | SupplyChainBrain

    2009 is winding down. Sigh. Well, not so fast. While many economists are promising that the worst of the recession is over, we’re certainly still far from the carefree, day-to-day hum of a decade ago. So while it’s important to start preparing for better times, it’s equally as important to remain vigilant and educated about the current ecosystem in which we live, work, profit—and sometimes fail.

  • An Overlooked (But Critical) Component of Transportation Management Systems

    November 13, 2009 | Logistics Viewpoints

    Earlier this year, I wrote a piece highlighting the expanding footprint of transportation management systems (TMS)—i.e., how software vendors are transforming TMS from a fragmented collection of applications to a unified platform where users across the enterprise and value chain can execute role-specific processes via configurable user interfaces, workflows, and web services.

  • Oracle the Partner-Friendly Partner, Round Two: E2Open, Oracle, and Transportation Management

    November 6, 2009 | Enterprise Irregulars

    One of the largely unheralded changes at Oracle this year has been its sudden willingness to partner at a strategic level with other enterprise software companies. This departure from previous strategy has been noted here before, as has its implications for the enterprise software community. (Great if you’re an ISV looking for a strong partner with long reach and a huge sales force, bad if you’re an Oracle competitor trying to build your own partner community.) More  »
