Outline / Agenda
● Discussion of typical supply chain data exchange
needs.
● Discussion of data types and platforms.
● Discussion of hybrid cloud versus multicloud.
● Discussion of field deployments, the processes,
nuances and the resulting observation.
● Benefits and advantages
● Conclusion
● Questions and Answers

Platforms / Support
● Traditional upload to CAS2 system from desktop item-by-item report
allowing for corrections, additions, modifications and relating to
material data type by having a correlation table (also JAMP, 62474
etc).
● Traditional supplier submissions of 1752A, now 1754.
● Industry wide support for rollup and searches of CMRTs
● Industry wide test tool for verification of submitted 1752, 1753, 1754
and 1755.
● Support for third party cloud data storage using hybrid cloud
multicloud supporting full metrics and analysis also- how you can get
full access to all your data.
● Leading edge of XML providers to ensure being able to submit
product dossiers, on ECHA SCIP.
● PCN and PD XML for 2-15f

Genesis and Provenance Typical Points
● Instantaneous composition and safe use update for SVHCs in
Articles across the entire supply chain—must be part number
based.
● When a supplier part number usage in BOM is known only to
the next level supplier, his supplier must be able to similarly
propagate the composition and safe use information
downstream.
● Fully secure, authenticated, machine to machine, little or no
human interface preferable.
● Must be able to interact multiple clouds private and public, and
data accessible by PLM, design, manufacture, storage and
safety personnel. 4

Typical Reports and Evaluations
● If it meets the criteria for an Article, and if the threshold
for some substances exceeded.
● Is it part of a BOM (Bill Of Materials) and is it flagged
as such in the BOM.
● The appropriate safe use information is to be linked.
● Renewable evaluation.
● Capture recycled material properly.
● Wastes and carbon footprinting.

Other Factors
● Who owns the data kept? Where is kept? Is the
data accessible to your processes, and to
applications that need it such as PLM?
● Are the accesses metered, or a cost?
● Is the access web protocol based or proprietary?
● Fault tolerance of systems, and redundancy of
data, as well as hashes, signature.

Observable Advantages
● Able to use the best of breed in each technology. The
FileRequest from suppliers uniquely redefines data gathering
from suppliers in the cloud.
● Such cloud data could be accessed from the desktop through
traditional applications such as ones for spreadsheet or
documents.
● Such cloud data could also be accessed through web
technologies on another cloud through secure authentication
and standards based handshakes.

Results and Benefits
 An effective hybrid multicloud methodology enables
open data exchanges, security and authentication,
scalability, authorized third part accesses when needed.
 Flexibility of operations.
 Enables an open marketplace with no restrictions on
competition.
 Cost effectiveness-use of clouds optimized for
performance and price.
