  • Gartner Magic Quadrant for Sales and Operations Planning Systems Of
    16/09/2019 Gartner Reprint Licensed for Distribution Magic Quadrant for Sales and Operations Planning Systems of Differentiation Published 7 May 2019 - ID G00332362 - 81 min read By Analysts Tim Payne, Amber Salley, Alex Pradhan This Magic Quadrant examines the main vendors that provide S&OP systems of differentiation. Supply chain leaders responsible for supply chain solutions can use this report when evaluating and selecting such SODs to help enable Stage 4 or higher S&OP maturity for their businesses. Market Definition/Description This Magic Quadrant is focused on analyzing the market for sales and operations planning (S&OP) systems of differentiation (SODs). An S&OP SOD is a software solution that helps to enable a Stage 4 (or possibly higher) maturity S&OP process. It may do this in conjunction with other supply chain planning (SCP) SODs, such as supply chain modeling, multienterprise inventory optimization or demand sensing. It will require the support of a foundational SCP system of record (SOR) if the full value of the S&OP SOD is to be extracted by the company. For more details on SCP SORs, see “Magic Quadrant for Supply Chain Planning System of Record.” Gartner research reveals that the best way for companies to analyze SCP technology and find the best fit for their requirements is to consider three key questions: ■ What type and level of planning (decision making) is the business looking to support now and in the future? For example, short-term respond planning or longer-term configure planning (see the Context section under “The SCP CORE model” for more definitions).

  • Collaboration, Innovation, Transformation Ideas and Inspiration to Accelerate Sustainable Growth - a Value Chain Approach
    Collaboration, innovation, transformation Ideas and inspiration to accelerate sustainable growth - A value chain approach WBCSD_SVC_Guide_PRINT_A4_40_pages_v16_2011_12_08.indd 1 08/12/2011 15:20 About this document Over the next few decades, businesses will face many challenges related to the environmental sustainability of their value chains (i.e. the full life cycle of a product or service) – whether it’s meeting new environmental regulations, securing enough water, energy or other resources for their daily operations, or managing the needs and expectations of their stakeholders. Meeting today’s challenges, while at the same time planning for future needs, is difficult. That’s why the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) has developed this guide. The guide is designed as a practical “how-to” tool, providing both ideas and inspiration to help businesses improve the environmental sustainability of their value chains. Using a practical step-by-step approach, it outlines the concrete actions businesses can take today to become more environmentally sustainable, along with examples from WBCSD member companies that have already successfully adopted a Sustainable Value Chain approach. The guide was developed by the WBCSD’s Sustainable Value Chain Workstream, with leadership from Unilever and The Coca-Cola Company. It includes case studies from AkzoNobel, The Coca-Cola Company, Henkel, Philips, Procter & Gamble, SABIC, Solvay, Sompo Japan Insurance, TNT, Umicore and Unilever.

  • Consumption-Based Infrastructure: a Game Changer
    January 2019 Consumption-based Infrastructure: A Game Changer In this issue Why Consumption-based Datacenter Infrastructure Pricing is a Game Changer 2 Research from Gartner: How to Get the Best Returns From Consumption-Based, On-Premises Infrastructure 4 Consumption-based Infrastructure Pricing: A Game Changer Kaminario’s composable storage platform offers cloud application providers a solution for delivering the performance and capability of shared storage and the economic elasticity of the public cloud. This paper discusses the rise of consumption-based pricing and the potential of technology solutions like Kaminario’s to transform datacenter economics. Cloud-First IT Strategies Enterprise IT has been transformed by modern cloud technologies. SaaS is dominating the enterprise software market. Certain workloads, like filesharing and backup, are quickly moving to public cloud- based services. Wherever possible, enterprise IT organizations are minimizing their datacenter footprint, leveraging external service providers, and getting out of the business of owning their own datacenter infrastructure. While SaaS and IaaS offerings make sense for many enterprise IT use cases, critical applications often benefit from dedicated, optimized private cloud infrastructures maintained on premises or in shared colocation facilities. While private clouds leverage dedicated infrastructure, software composable storage solutions with consumption-based pricing offer a solution for building cloud-scale datacenter infrastructures with the elastic economics of the public cloud. The ability to scale up and scale down as IT demands change enables businesses to better match infrastructure expense with the value they deliver and the revenue they generate. 3 Utility Pricing for IT Technologies Kaminario is differentiated from traditional storage The concept of utility pricing for IT infrastructure technologies in its complete disaggregation of its has been around for years.
