Oracle Corp – Supply Chain Workshop April 12
Supply Chain Excellence Workshops will be keynoted by Oracle's John Bermudez, a former AMR analyst who will cover the state of the manufacturing and distribution industry. He will explain as he wrote in a recent white paper, how information-driven supply chains create industry leaders. Three experts will speak about solutions for different stages of the manufacturing/distribution process -- Supply Chain Design, Demand Planning, and Transportation Management.
These are new product offerings recently acquired by Oracle as best of breed solutions. A customer will speak about one of the systems that they use (Demantra, Oracle Transportation Managment [formerly GLOG] , or Strategic Network Optimization [SNO]).
