Enabling Supply Chain Visibility and Collaboration in the Cloud

Aberdeen benchmarked the supply chain application priorities and strategies of over 150 enterprises in October and November of 2010. This benchmark report is a summary of the key findings of that survey - especially focusing on the role of cloud-based solutions (like Software as a Service (SaaS) and managed services) in enabling visibility and promoting collaboration within integrated demand-supply networks. SaaS has been proven to provide companies with a competitive advantage in areas that require multi-enterprise collaboration, like B2B integration and customer/supplier collaboration.
