WHY YOU SHOULD CONSIDER

ACCESSING THE IMPACT RIGHT NOW!

If your supply-chain business applications

infrastructure is relatively immature … you may find an opportunity to leap-frog your competition.

If your supply-chain business applications

infrastructure is relatively mature … you may find some of your assets, are now liabilities.

HOW DO I GET STARTED?

WHATS THE OPTIMAL PATH?

© 2017 Cognizant

Path will be different based on where you are coming from, where you need to be, and be driven by balancing risk and reward … this is not trivial!

12

Requires a holistic view across

• All Enterprise Business

Processes

• Complete IT Infrastructure

• Organizational Change

Capabilities

START WITH A HOLISTIC VIEW

© 2017 Cognizant

Look upstream and down stream from SCM. In addition to IoT,

SCP & SCE … include Finance, EPM, & MDM.

13

Think out of box!

Does the lower cost & improved

performance of any of these IT tools, change

the calculus on past supply-chain design

decisions?

Could a new Supply Chain Planning

paradigm return significant value to the

business?

Is my complex IT Infrastructure driving up

cost and slowing innovation?

ENTERPRISE BUSINESS PROCESSES INCLUDED

IN A HOLISTIC VIEW

© 2017 Cognizant

Don’t be a slave to the software platform of choice, but resist the urge to

evaluate business processes in the absence of specific IT, or visa versa.

14

1. Always start with Business imperatives & objectives.

2. Examine your Business Process's & IT Infrastructure’s ability to accelerate the achievement of those objectives.

3. Look for Opportunity to reduce IT infrastructure costs.

4. Assess your Organization’s change capabilities.

BE COMPREHENSIVE AND PRESCRIPTIVE …

BUT DON’T OVER ANALYZE
