Supply chain planning solutions have existed for decades now. However, as technology and business requirements evolve, so do these solutions. New technologies and capabilities emerge that integrate with existing supply chain planning solutions and contribute to the evolution of planning solutions. A good example is the cloud. SAPinsider recently published a research report, Supply Chain Planning in The Cloud, that explored how SAPinsiders believe that the cloud can help transform supply chain planning. As survey responses flowed in, one aspect that emerged was that SAPinsiders believe that the future of planning needs to be integrated. Siloed supply chain data and siloed planning systems, not integrated seamlessly with other business planning systems, are not what complex supply chains today needs. This article highlights how SAPinsiders highlighted integration as a strategic imperative for supply chain planning in our recent research, supply chain planning in the cloud.
