Effects of the Digital Transformation on Businesses - Helpful Use Cases (1)

Many businesses have already begun to transition themselves towards digital transformation as they realize that it is not something to be left for tomorrow. With this series we want to illustrate, on industry specific use cases, how businesses can re-imagine their business models, processes, products, and services, for the purpose of achieving the benefits of the digital transformation. In order to do this organizations are increasingly looking at technology enablers like Big Data, Mobility, Collaboration, Analytics, and Cloud Computing to adopt. In order for a business to achieve real-time supply chain visibility, it needs to move from manual to a system-based production planning and scheduling, automate sales order management, and enable traceability and visibility of the operations and shipments within and outside the organization. By leveraging Big Data and analytics capabilities, the company can analyze the demand for production, delivery and process times, and can create event based notifications for better monitoring of the supply chain.
