Supply Chains Go Beyond Recycling

The rise on global waste is driving organizations to leverage water-soluble direct thermal materials with their supply chains. In light of the recent leuco dye shortage, traditional non-dissolvable direct thermal materials have experienced considerable price inflation. The previous price hikes for commoditized direct thermal products has undoubtedly reduced the price premiums that are often associated with utilizing water-soluble technologies. Many businesses are now reconsidering this game-changing technology and are ready to take advantage of the many unique benefits that water-soluble materials have to offer. Now joining us to discuss – environmentally sustainable water-soluble paper-based materials is Jonathan Jakubowski.

The immense data stores, networked systems, business ecosystems and technologies that enable companies to serve their markets and customers, hold a vast amount of information that needs to be reined in.

SAP Business Analytics

Decision makers are swimming in information, yet they still struggle to really “know” their business. They cannot access relevant data easily, navigate it quickly, organize it meaningfully, or make decisions with any degree of certainty. Business analytics should enable everyone within an organization to achieve remarkable results. How? By enabling users to know every aspect of their business — relative to them; by enabling decisions to be made with confidence — balancing risk and opportunity; and by enabling users to act boldly — responding to events as they unfold, taking coordinated action, and learning and improving over time. As you look to purchase an analytics solution, consider whether it will do what you need and whether there are avoidable hidden costs. We interview James Fisher to gain SAP's perspective on Business Analytics. James is the VP of solution marketing, analytics at SAP.

Better Business Outcomes with PPM

The need to bring order out of chaos is nothing new to organizations.

Most organizations lack the resources to effectively deal with the work at hand. To get ahead of the curve, you need to prioritize work, control how new initiatives are evaluated against current efforts, assign resources efficiently, and accurately track progress and performance.
