Your supply chain is the life blood of your business. Cloud platforms and services offer businesses the ability to increase efficiency and build richer experiences around their SCM systems. This can result in reduced costs, increased revenue, and overall improvements in customer and employee satisfaction. For large enterprises, however, the road to the cloud is an arduous journey and many companies have legitimate concerns over migration complexities, PII, and other impediments along the way. As a result, more companies are learning that an all or nothing approach is not necessary when making the move to cloud platforms and services. Come see how our team of developers built distributed, scalable cloud services that leverage on-premises JD Edwards application data to deliver a reimagined supply chain management system. We will go over the problems we faced, discuss implementation challenges, and present best practices and solutions used to overcome them.
