Today’s supply chains are increasingly complex, with global pressures placing additional burdens on speed and efficiency. Since the supply chain is the life blood of your company, you can’t forecast and manage it effectively if you can’t see what’s happening. That’s why true real-time demand and supply visibility is critical to optimizing supply chain performance.

Join Software AG and AMR to learn about best practices in improving supply chain agility and creating the “perfect” demand-driven enterprise. The discussion will cover how to use process frameworks to improve order-to-cash, sourcing, and new product introduction, collaborative approaches for demand response and how leading companies are leveraging KPI metrics and supplier scorecards to meet increasingly demanding customer service level agreements.
