Beyond APO

A major IT benefit in the past was due to the integration of many B2B functions into SAP's ERP such as R/3 and later Business Suite 7.

New IT and logistics challenges, the demands of a digital transformation, global markets and supply chains have revived and repositioned the topic of supply chain management, SCM. As in the area of CRM, where many existing SAP customers are now turning to Salesforce, a rethink is also underway in SCM: Existing SAP customers are looking beyond the end of their noses and seeing that Oracle and specialists such as Blue Yonder also offer solutions in the area of logistics and E2E supply chains that are suitable for SAP S/4.

E-3 Magazine hosted a March 2. virtual round table with two experts from Blue Yonder, Gabriel Werner and Ruediger Kluge, and Thomas Mrozek, a consultant at Accenture, on the topic: The supply chain of the future is autonomous, segmented and end-to-end. Here, the SCM questions of the future are answered at a strategic level.

The SCM Round Table stands as Video stream on the E-3 YouTube channel free of charge: In addition, we will publish a summary of this roundtable discussion with Gabriel Werner, Thomas Mrozek and Ruediger Kluge as well as further information on the supply chain of the future in the next E-3 issue April 2022 (PDF online from Thursday, March 24, 2 p.m. for E-3 subscribers).
