Cloud offers unified view of supply chain Offering additional detail on why so many firms are choosing to migrate their supply chains to the cloud , Carla points to what is widely accepted as the primary positive – regardless of industry .
“ Cloud solutions enable organisations to integrate disparate systems and processes , providing a more unified view of the entire supply chain ,” she adds .
“ This integration helps reduce siloed functionality and promote a better – and more fact-based – consideration of the trade-offs that every operations leader faces .”
Elsewhere , cloud-based platforms are recognised as enabling a greater level of flexibility , allowing businesses to scale their operations based on current and future needs .
As a result , the operational benefits a business can enjoy are , unsurprisingly , numerous – from better investment decision-making to a more resilient network and a more strategic operations team .
“ Disruption will happen ,” Carla says . “ The future is about how much you can minimise the impact , how quickly you can bounce back and occasionally leverage the opportunity as an advantage . A cloud solution is your best bet for making that happen .”
