Event highlights
Which companies do B2B best? Why does it matter? At the conference, we will share insights from data on the current state of B2B connectivity and celebrate the companies that are doing B2B the best.
How should data flow from trading partner to partner to maximize reuse and improve data flows? At the conference, we will explore the use of the ISO-8000 standards for company, location and item data and help attendees understand the differences between integration and data portability.
There are many solutions designed to improve trading partner connectivity. These include Ariba, Descartes, E2open, Elemica, Elementum, Exostar, Infor GT Nexus, One Network, and SupplyOn. Each network supports a niche—a specific industry or process flow. There is no path forward for interconnectivity of these networks to drive multi-tier flows between deliver, make and source.
Sharing of testing of blockchain. What is hype? What is real? Currently the hype cycle for blockchain is in full swing. How do companies sort hype from reality? And, define the right governance to participate in a blockchain enabled network? At the conference, we will share the definition of a quality blockchain and how to prepare organizationally to support this emerging technology
