  • Business attitudes across the globe — jarred by the European sovereign debt crisis, sagging consumer confidence and continuing market fluctuations — are vacillating between confidence and caution, and volatility is likely to remain a permanent feature of the global business environment.

  • Supply chain management is adopting cost cutting, optimization, speed of deployment, agility and real-time process information and automation, with 21st century software leading the way—and as the economy begins to rebound, companies are starting to spend on software again.
  • “Companies are going to stay focused on lowering the costs of doing global business at the same time that they expand their sources of supply and volume of product—and they’re going to use software to do it,” says Collins. “We’re also seeing emerging market companies in countries like India, China, and Brazil that are beginning to bring product into consumer markets from outside suppliers. Regardless of where companies are operating, they are rethinking how their supply chains work. Some are opting to go to regional supply chain depots to hold parts. In this way, they can position more inventory closer to customers, and have fewer shipments. This all depends on the nature of the product and the cost of freight.”
