Delivering Technologies for a Smarter Supply Chain
The Power of Real-Time Analytics
How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Cloud
What is this thing called "cloud computing"? It's nothing new - that much is certain. Software vendors have been offering applications "hosted" off-site for years. The idea of computer services as a kind of managed utility dates back to the 1960s at least. Salesforce.com, founded in 1999, based its entire business model on the cloud, even if it didn't use the word at the time. Since then, we've seen a variety of takes on what came to be known as Software as a Service, or SaaS. That's now been supplanted by "the cloud," a term which refers to any number of apps that reside in huge banks of servers located far from the client.

How Do You Know if You're Getting a Good Deal on the SaaS Solution You're Thinking About?
The last two years have brought an explosion of Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions. Both new app players and traditional enterprise software license providers have provided new versions of their software and services to ensure a market presence in the cloud delivery model. Along with this change we have witnessed new models in pricing strategies. The problem is that it is very hard to compare pricing - not just between the competitors - but also for same-company cloud vs. on-premise options.
Does Your Cloud Have Lipstick On It?
The Cloud and the Supply Chain
The "cloud" can be a difficult concept to grasp, given the various definitions it has been assigned by software vendors and users. Greg Johnsen, executive vice president of marketing and sales with GT Nexus, calls it "an information replica of the physical supply chain." Cloud-based technology provides one place where managers can go to monitor critical supply-chain events. When an element is updated, "everybody gets the information."

The On-Demand World: Bringing Supply Management Into the Future
Analysts' Insights: As companies plan and strategize for long-term effectiveness in supply management, they must focus on one aspect to truly derive value out of their procurement and sourcing efforts: evolution. Organizations globally must look to the future and adapt their reliance on technology as solutions evolve for the better. Christopher J. Dwyer, senior research analyst, Aberdeen As organizations continue to adjust their technology footprint into the next decade, the question around SaaS is not if but how SaaS will be leveraged within the procurement enterprise. Constantine G. Limberakis, senior research analyst, Aberdeen
