White Paper on Ensuring Supply Chain Technology ROI
Introduction
The challenge of achieving a high return on corporate investment in business transformation initiatives, especially those involving technological innovations, proves to be a difficult one to overcome for most organisations. Sean Culey, Managing Director of SEVEN, a specialised Supply Chain and SAP Value Realisation consultancy, discusses why achieving high returns from technical and process investments have been underachieved to date, why two organisations investing in the same technological improvements can have wildly different results, and proposes steps to ensure that your business can ensure that its investment in process and technical improvements could rapidly provide a demonstrable ROI.
By investing time in ensuring that their corporate goals and competitive advantages are recognised and understood, by looking at best practices in process and people and by ensuring that the information flowing throughout the organisation is timely and accurate, the company can ensure that they leverage excellence in their existing people and technology in order to put in place steps to achieve visibility across the entire supply chain and significantly improve competitiveness and profitability, as well as supporting future growth. This also enables them to know which technology fads to avoid, and which ones to become avid pioneers of. This article describes what steps most organisations can take to ensure that this is achieved.
