ADVISORY/Capstan Systems Featured Speaker at Yankee Group San Francisco Conference: Collaborative Commerce -- Defining Business Models That Work.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers ADVISORY...For Monday and Tuesday (Feb. 12 and 13) --(BUSINESS WIRE) Panel Discussion To Present Latest Trends Driving Accelerated Supply Chain Efficiency With Business to Business Collaboration Overview: Collaborative commerce is fundamentally changing the way businesses interact with one another. Underlying this business transformation are the Internet and Web-based technology tools, which are being incorporated deeper into organizations and are considered vital for retaining and increasing market share, improving customer satisfaction, driving out cost by eliminating manual processes, and ultimately creating more profit and a stronger revenue stream for organizations. To conduct business in an increasingly competitive global economy, companies need the right technologies to interact, communicate and align their processes with other organizations to enable the benefits of collaborative commerce to be realized. The panel, titled Producing Supply Chain Efficiency with Business-to-Business Collaboration, will present expert commentary on the following trends: -- The cost of manual-process supply chains and why new collaborative tools are needed to improve inventory velocity, driving reduced costs and faster customer response. -- How "supply chain management" is changing from rigid planning systems reliant on historical data, to real-time, networked "execution platforms" that compress supply cycles, accelerate product to market, increase value and secure customer loyalty. Hear each company's perspective on this very relevant topic in today's global environment.
