Secrets of Supply Chain Planning for 2016

2016 Better Supply Chain with ERP PlanningIncreasing demand for end-to-end supply chain visibility is perhaps one of the most discussed issues when it comes to enterprise resource planning (ERP). One reason for this is that many organizations with multinational presence are still struggling to achieve full insight into their complex operations.
Though modern ERP solutions provide superior visibility compared to obsolete business management systems, honest replies to questions about the degree of visibility across all the tiers in the supply chain have revealed a series of limitations because of the dependence on Excel or a Legacy Accounting System.

Microsoft’s Project GigJam: Making Work Collaboration Easier

 

Mother Teresa quote together we can do great thingsMicrosoft’s Project GigJam allows operating systems to work together to accomplish great things.  It’s exciting that Satya Nadella has swayed Microsoft’s business focus from operating system wars to focusing on us, the customers.  GigJam developed  in part by Vijay Mital, General Manager of Ambient Computing & Robotics at Microsoft, does just that with this new app of apps by letting us work together EASILY regardless of the operating system.

Most of the source content of this blog comes from ZD NET’s  Alan Lepofsky for Constellation Research since Satya Nadella introduced GigJam at the World Partner Conference in VERY high-level terms saying:

“Gigjam’s technology empowers business workers to summon information from their line of business and SaaS apps, spontaneously divvy up the specific information and actions needed to get work done, keep track of each part, and bring it all to closure immediately.”

While that description is accurate, I wanted to give you more insight.  One that shows a glimpse of how Microsoft is continuously working to help you and your company accomplish more through products like Dynamics AX , Dynamics NAV or their newest product, Project GigJam.

Project GigJam’s name comes from the “gig-economy” trend, where people perform small jobs for different clients. Read more
