IBM Smarter Commerce Order Management for CommunicationsChris Shaw
These are some of the questions a CSP should ask itself when determining whether or not they have the truly intelligent multi-channel order management capabilities they are going to need to accommodate the new demands of the empowered consumer.
Can your customers order in one channel and pick up or return through a different channel?
Do you have visibility into your entire inventory of handsets, accessories or consumer premises equipment, regardless of it’s location?
Does your organization have the ability to rapidly adopt new solutions regardless of where or by whom they are fulfilled?
Can you easily provide a single source for all order status updates and fulfillment progress across all components sold in a customer order, even if they are fulfilled from different solutions?
Can your order management system dynamically change it’s processing behavior based upon real-time learning of it’s surrounding environment?
Do you have the ability to take insight from the ordering system to better understand in real-time how your solution is performing?
Leveraging IoT for Product Visibility across the Supply Chain Capgemini
During transportation, medicines and medical equipment need to preserve their integrity. In order to monitor key indicators in real time (e.g. temperature, pressure, vibration, humidity), J&J worked together with Capgemini to build a proof of concept solution for a smart container. The solution aggregates data from various sources (traffic patterns, weather data, GPS) and on board sensors, analyzes it in real time for exceptions and tolerance violation. It also includes email notifications for exception/rule violation and dash boarding capabilities for various devices. Using IBM technology and Capgemini pre-configurations, the solution was developed in six weeks. This validated the requirements, the technology stack and the industrialization potential.

In this unique moment, companies can learn and progress more quickly than ever before!
Today the “Supply Chain” is in a quandary. On the one hand it can be argued that it is ‘coming-of-age’, and seen as a profession... on the other hand, we are being inundated with trends pointing to the growing scarcity of Supply Chain Leaders.
In this article, sponsored by SAP, we take a look at how the strategy behind supply-chain management has created new challenges. Supply-chain managers have had to acquire many new skills to keep up with the revolution but with a new breed of technology creating obstacles in the supply-chain strategy, how do you find the right people for the job?

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

THE NEW ERA OF SUPPLY CHAIN
Digital business is changing business models – and how we conduct business.
It is both connecting and blurring the lines between the digital and physical worlds.
It is changing how businesses communicate, transact and interact with customers,
suppliers and partners. And it is accelerating the pace of business, in a world
already operating 24/7.
How do businesses not just keep pace – but stay ahead of the competition in this
environment? How do they adapt to, and exceed, ever-evolving global customer
demands and expectations? How do they weather increasing volatility and risks?
Their ability to do so is largely dependent on their supply chain.
As much as 65 percent of the value of a company’s products or services is derived
from suppliers.1
Suppliers and the supply chain impact everything from the quality,
delivery and costs of a business’s products and services, to customer service and
satisfaction, and ultimately profitability.

or services is derived from suppliers.

THE NEW ERA OF SUPPLY CHAIN
Supply chain leaders are tasked with continually ensuring the quality, delivery and
availability of supply – while controlling costs. They must monitor and mitigate an array of
potential supply disruptions – including both common events, such as weather, delivery
delays and quality defects, as well as major events such as political unrest, natural disasters
and the financial instability of suppliers. They must also safeguard the brand, ensuring
suppliers and product components live up to customers’ expectations and social values.
Today’s expectations are that inbound supply needs to be just as focused on customer
experience, personalization and client delivery as the outbound side of the equation.
And in an era where innovation can mean the difference between success and stagnation,
supply chain leaders are increasingly being called upon to collaborate with suppliers to
foster greater efficiency and innovation.
Lack of visibility and transparency is the greatest hurdle in achieving the supply chain
organization’s objectives.2
Most organizations lack transparency into critical links in supply
chain processes – as well as the visibility needed to better predict and prevent disruptions
and inventory imbalance. This largely stems from an inability to corral and make sense of an
overwhelming amount of data scattered across different processes, sources and systems.
Lack of visibility and transparency is the
greatest hurdle in achieving the supply chain
organization’s objectives.

Supply chain organizations also are struggling to keep pace with change, both technological
advances and the changes that the digital age is bringing to industries and markets. Under these
pressures, they lag in elevating their personnel and empowering them with the knowledge, data and
capabilities needed to succeed.

THE NEW ERA OF SUPPLY CHAIN
Create a modern supply chain that is
transparent, intelligent and predictive.
By establishing greater visibility into supply
chain data and processes and leveraging
cognitive technologies, supply chain
organizations can both predict and
mitigate disruptions and risks and deliver
more value to the business.
5. -05-
THE NEW ERA OF SUPPLY CHAIN
Develop greater transparency and visibility by establishing one shared view
of supply chain data and intelligence across all suppliers, partners, systems
and processes. Such visibility should include both internal and external
sources of data — both structured and unstructured. Provide the supply
chain organization with contextual intelligence that shows the impact
of business decisions.
ESTABLISH GREATER TRANSPARENCY
AND VISIBILITY

Supply chain visibility maximizes market
opportunities for Bonnie Plants
Bonnie Plants, a leading provider of plants to the retail industry with
more than 10,000 customers, uses IBM solutions to create a single
view into its supply chain that enables it to connect people, processes
and technology across boundaries. Each time a Bonnie Plants product
is scanned, the information is collected, rationalized and processed
immediately. Bonnie Plants’ teams can check sales and project the
needs of an individual customer carrying their plants. This real-time
visibility allows the company to ship new plants where and when they
are needed. With IBM, Bonnie Plants has gained real-time, end-to-end
visibility and control over its business processes and external trading
partners, maximizing market opportunities. Read the full story.

THE NEW ERA OF SUPPLY CHAIN
Leverage the latest cognitive technologies to create transparency and comprehensive
visibility into supply chain processes – and potential disruptions and risks – so that
the organization can quickly and proactively mitigate those events. Further, foster
collaboration among internal supply chain staff – and work collaboratively with
suppliers and partners – to resolve disputes, respond to events and drive innovation.

KeHE Distributors mitigates risk, keeps
fulfillment running like clockwork
KeHE Distributors, which works with some of the largest retailers in
the United States, must ensure that its order fulfillment processes
run like clockwork. Otherwise, they risk delivery delays that eat
into margins. KeHE Distributors leverages IBM solutions to keep its
logistics network running efficiently, reliably and cost-effectively,
which in turn helps the company to protect its margins.
“In our industry, operating lean is crucial to combat downward
pressure on margins. We have not experienced any unplanned
downtime, keeping our logistics network running smoothly and
cost-effectively,” says Carl Snyder, manager of IT initiatives at
KeHE Distributors. Read the full story.

Mondadori Group invests in source-to-pay
platform to strengthen supplier engagement
Mondadori Group, a leader in the publishing industry, sought to
strengthen its engagement and collaboration with suppliers as a
source of competitive advantage. The company created a dedicated
procurement function and leveraged IBM solutions to establish global,
integrated processes that provided the capabilities needed to achieve
its goals. Mondadori Group started by introducing an integrated,
scalable platform from IBM that manages the entire source-to-pay
process – offering an organization-wide view of spending by category,
company and supplier, as well as a central, traceable source of
supplier bids and information.
“We predict that many new business imperatives will define the
future of the procurement function, including greater speed, cross-
departmental collaboration and responsiveness. Our vision was
nothing less than a complete transformation, and we now have
a mature, enterprise-class solution to help us reach our goals.
We now have a tailor-made process to deepen our engagement
and collaboration with suppliers,” explains Andrea Munari, group
procurement director at Mondadori. Read the full story.

CASE STUDY
Cognitive solutions transforming
the IBM supply chain organization
Managing more than 17,000 suppliers across 100 global markets,
the IBM supply chain organization lacked the visibility required to
get ahead of disruptions and maximize opportunities. By turning
to IBM’s analytics, cognitive, mobile and social tools, they fortified
decision-making at the individual level and coordination across the
supply chain.
For example, take the classic challenge of shifting demand – what
orders to place on the line, and what supply is needed to build?
Previously, the teams responsible for each phase weren’t able to
communicate in real time, causing misalignment between the latest
demand, orders and supply. With cognitive capabilities, each group
has immediate knowledge of changes to demand, supply and/or
the order load – and is equipped with context-based intelligence to
optimize inventory, fulfillment and build plans.
