Supply chain transformation and the role of IT

Concurrent planning – the process of making and managing synchronized plans across time horizons, business processes and organizational boundaries at the same time – is imperative for surviving in an increasingly unpredictable world. So, too, is the need for the underlying supply chain technology to be agile and resilient, best of breed, scalable, flexible, secure and intelligent.

IT professionals are entrusted with selecting the right technology for today and the future, and tasked with navigating a flood of buzzwords, terminology and PowerPoint slides that are often unproven or fundamentally inadequate in addressing real needs.

In this guide we present some of the latest thinking and perspectives from our team of experts to help guide IT professionals through the supply chain planning journey. On behalf of the entire Kinaxis team, I hope it provides you with the timely and actionable insights you need to prepare your business for the future.
