From startups to multinational corporations, building and leveraging business networks to serve customers in a fast and reliable manner is a key strategy for growth and success. However, many supply chains suffer from siloed operations and lack of open collaboration among partners, which leads to poor visibility in processes and data sharing.

As disruptions in globally connected supply chains become more prominent, we explore opportunities to break down barriers and embrace the power of truly collaborative and agile businesses.

For decades, business collaboration has been the backbone of commerce, connecting various companies, suppliers, and customers in a web of relationships that enable resource and finance flows. These networks have been established over time and are highly optimized in terms of cost, speed, and risk reduction.

Over the last few years, it has become apparent that these networks are highly fragile and can quickly unravel when faced with external shocks. With increasing geopolitical instability and irreversible climate change effects, this scenario is likely to become even more pronounced in the future.

Antifragility in Business: From Resilience to Adaptation

To address this, businesses need to transform the way they operate and become more adaptable. According to author Nassim Nicholas Taleb, it is important for businesses to strive for 鈥�,鈥� rather than resiliency. This means that instead of simply bouncing back to their pre-shock state, businesses should learn and grow from shocks, becoming even stronger as a result. Therefore, the transformation we see for business networks, or B2B collaboration platforms, is that they need to become open, flexible, and interoperable in the future.

In essence, any business will need to be able to reassemble business networks dynamically and rearrange and reorient as needed depending on external or internal factors.

We at 麻豆原创 already support our customers in this endeavor. By using long-standing expertise with business processes and technologies such as blockchain and artificial intelligence (AI), and by staying up to date on the latest trends, we help customers with the evaluation and implementation of innovation. By utilizing this expertise, we aim to enable agile collaboration and multi-tier visibility while minimizing business risk. This can result in the opening up of traditional business processes and financial flows, including cross-border payments.

Our ultimate goal is to foster strong business relationships by enabling a new layer of cross-company collaboration and business process orchestration. It could be hybrid or completely based on an open, decentralized network infrastructure bringing all companies on one common platform together 鈥� regardless of industry, geography, or size.

Example: Managing Digital Identities Across Networks

One of our most promising initiatives in this context is developing a service for digital identity management.

Identity is key in any business process. But digital identity management has long been a challenge for individuals and businesses alike. Traditional username and password systems are insecure and easily hacked, while social logins leave all personal information under the control of one corporation. The lack of universal standards makes it difficult to ensure the trustworthiness of information and to integrate digital identities across different systems and processes.

This is where self-sovereign identity (SSI) comes in. SSI is the first open standard for digital identity on the web, offering a solution to these issues. With SSI, users have the same convenience as social logins, but also have complete control over their data. This new identity standard applies not only to individuals, but also to corporations and devices such as the Internet of Things (IoT), providing globally unique and interoperable identities. Each identity wallet is established through cryptographically verifiable credentials, anchored on a public, permission-less blockchain network. Using this technology we can create a vendor-neutral network infrastructure that makes it easy to join the network and share trustworthy data.

The impact of SSI will be felt across many software systems, including enterprise suites like聽麻豆原创 S/4HANA聽and master data in particular, where it can provide a single source of truth for master data, making onboarding processes between companies orders of magnitude faster. In the blockchain space, SSI has the potential to bring much-needed credibility to anonymous addresses and transform the industry into a space for reputable business. At 麻豆原创, we are enabling customers, partners, and application developers to build applications using self-sovereign identities on 麻豆原创 Business Technology Platform (麻豆原创 BTP).

But creating a universal identity standard is just one use case. Besides this, we are working on a range of other cutting-edge use cases such as industry-specific business networks, decentralized finance, and collaborative workflows beyond company and system borders. Our focus on innovation in both future business processes and future business decisions is integral to bringing the concept of future business collaboration to fruition.

麻豆原创 already conducts a significant聽, with over $4.9 trillion in annual commerce and operations in 190 countries, having handled over 730 million B2B transactions within a 12-month period on the platform.

To help our customers solve the problems of the future, we are combining this advantage with the deep experience 麻豆原创 teams have in technology areas such as blockchain, AI, interoperability, security, and business processes. Our teams are closely collaborating with product development to incorporate our findings into the road maps for our standard products 鈥� such as聽听补苍诲听, which have graduated from being internal company ventures into capabilities 鈥� to transform the way resources flow in the circular economy.

While supply chains are a big part of the problem, it’s also a big part of the solution. Hence, Supply Chain Optimization is the cornerstone of Sustainability Improvement and is the biggest driver in obtaining a company鈥檚 sustainability goals.

• In 2020, CDP found that GHG emissions in a company鈥檚 supply chain are, on average, 11.4 times higher than its operational emissions.
• In 2020, 239 companies signed the Science Based target Initiative and 94 per cent of them committed to reduce emissions at customers and suppliers.
• (indirect value chain emissions) accounts for 80 per cent of the overall climate impact for many companies. Increased globalization, competition, and continuous supply chain disruptions force companies to be more efficient and agile. In addition, companies need to match their economic objectives while operating in a sustainable manner to meet consumer needs.

Sustainable development of supply chain is a crucial part of any business and an efficient supply chain is imperative.

Sustainability starts with product design, which feeds into the manufacturing and supply chain processes. The supply chain involves the movement of materials and services from upstream to downstream operations of the Supply chain. Today鈥檚 supply chain consists of multiple operations, suppliers across locations, and facilities in different countries, regions, or parts of the world.

A digitalised resilient supply chain helps companies:

• To be more agile (Proactively and profitably sense and respond to market dynamics)
• Increase Productivity (Deliver high-quality, mass-produced, make-to-order products faster)
• Improve connectivity with Business partners
• Run sustainable business practices that maximize reuse and minimize waste of materials from design to operate, minimize carbon footprint across the supply chain network, and protect the health and safety of employees

As we are aware, sustainable sourcing is critical across all industries. It is the process of selecting materials, products, and services from suppliers sustainably. As supply chains continue to expand globally into developing countries, seeking lower costs and greater production capacity, they expose companies to an even wider array of risks. In applying sustainable sourcing, organizations integrate social, ethical, and environmental factors into selecting their suppliers.

Hence, managing the social, environmental, and economic impact of the supply chain is a key priority for companies to achieve long-term success. Not only does this help to comply with sustainability legislation and environmental regulations, but the sustainability of the supply chain can also affect the business鈥檚 profitability, work opportunities, professional partnership, and reputation. It is crucial for companies to collaborate within their own departments and suppliers across their supply chain network to reduce the scope聽 emissions.

How Does Supply Chain Optimization Help Companies on Their Sustainability Journey?

In today鈥檚 supply chain, goods might travel halfway around the world before reaching their final destination, which have a large impact on company鈥檚 carbon footprint. Hence, the collaborative supply chain planning and execution are at the heart of companies’ brand and business success and help companies on their environmental goal.

Let鈥檚 now look at the three areas which help companies in optimizing their supply chain activities and help in reducing indirect emissions that occur in the value chain.

Supply Chain Planning

Supply Chain Planning is the intelligent brain to optimize the supply chain to improve the sustainability goal of the companies. This helps companies to plan resources, inventories, capacities, and ethical sourcing. This is helping companies in reducing overall environmental impact and product wastages across the supply chain.

In many organizations today, the planning team is isolated from the rest of the value-generating teams and plans product demand in siloes. Here are the details on how collaborative and synchronized Supply Chain planning can help companies in reaching their sustainability goal sooner:

• Sustainable supply helps the planner in ethical sourcing across your entire supply chain and better collaborate with suppliers on the sustainability sourcing targets
• Increased forecast accuracy helps to carry optimized inventory across the supply network and also helps to reduce product wastage
• Use sustainability targets and planetary boundaries as capacity constraints
• Resource Optimization helps to optimize equipment and resource usage. This practice allows companies further optimize energy and emissions from the equipment.

Supply Chain Execution

It has been reported that emissions from logistics businesses during the delivery of goods have been upward trajectory, increasing by 1.9% annually since 2000.Most of this can be attributed to the rise of globalisation and increased demand for consumer goods. Transportation is one of the areas in which getting to zero emissions is a key goal for companies which includes reducing travel distances and increasing efficiency. Here are the details on how optimised transportation and warehouse processes helps companies to ensure the logistics processes are managed sustainably by saving resources and protective the environment.

• Transport optimisation: Optimize loads and reduce mileage across operations, making such deliveries more sustainable, end to end 鈥� from raw materials to factory, to the warehouse to doorstep. This helps companies in reducing emissions and costs and improves utilization.
• Warehouse planning to optimize the storage and warehouse activities
• Energy optimization: Use CO2- and energy-optimized warehousing and transportation.
• Worker safety: Develop a process to ensure workers’ safety and that only qualified personnel can handle dangerous goods.

Collaborative Logistics Network

Logistics is complex. It manages the movement of raw materials, intermediate products, and packaging across the globe to manufacturing facilities, as well as the distribution of products from origin to consumption.

Today’s sustainable enterprises want more profound insights into their supply chains, including the sustainability values of their trading partners. Companies want trading partners’ sustainability values to align with their and consumers’ values. 麻豆原创 Business Network, along with our ecosystem of partner applications, creates the transparency needed to make decisions based on a range of criteria. When the performance of existing trading partners doesn’t align with a business’ sustainability goals, shifting to new trading partners has never been easier. With Today’s Collaborative logistics Network, companies can quickly discover new, more sustainable providers across industries and geographies.

A digitalised logistics network helps companies with the following:

• Collaboration for Responsible Sourcing and Purchasing
• Material traceability reinforces sustainability throughout the supply chain to create a trusted network across material flows.
• Collaborative Asset Intelligence Network helps in energy waste reduction
• 聽Efficiently plan and execute delivery

Consider the聽聽by scientists of Sir Ernest Shackleton鈥檚聽Endurance, which sank off the Antarctic coast in 1915. Fortunately for the explorer and his crew of 27, all managed to survive. As for the shipwreck, scientists found it remarkably intact amid the frigid depths of Earth鈥檚 southernmost seas. But the photographs capture one significant change with the passage of time: the sunken vessel, like the craggy ocean floor surrounding it, now teems with life. At a depth exceeding 3,000 meters, triple the distance sunlight can聽聽underwater, how do ecosystems manage to thrive? And what can businesses, sometimes facing inhospitable conditions of their own above sea level, learn from the enterprising plants and animals whose habitat eludes visibility?

To run at their best, businesses carry out multiple operational processes simultaneously, maximizing efficiency and minimizing risk across them all. So too the complex networks of flora and fauna undersea. A lack of visibility presents challenges not only for aquatic ecosystems but for commercial ones as well, in the latter instance imperiling critical functions such as procurement and supply chain, logistics, and the maintenance of equipment connected by the Internet of Things (IoT). Business leaders increasingly look to the cloud for digital solutions to enhance visibility across all these functions. But they鈥檙e equally wise to gaze seaward as well for insights on instilling resilience. Disruption, after all, can leave wreckage at the bottom of an income statement just as it can at the bottom of an ocean.

At a time when聽viral variants, recurrent lockdowns, and geopolitical tensions continue to roil supply chains and labor markets, businesses require 360-degree visibility across the interconnected operations of trading partners and solution providers to maintain continuity, foster collaboration, and keep promises made to customers. Yet many procurement and supply chain professionals possess only fragmentary information about isolated business processes, unable to gain a comprehensive view across the four walls of their organization, let alone those of their buyers and suppliers. Integrated digital platforms, however, lend businesses the expansive view and data-driven insights they need to anticipate rapid shifts in supply and demand and suggest available alternatives for the sourcing of raw materials and indirect goods.

Yet while cloud-based business networks are a contemporary innovation to extend visibility where it runs scarce, they are hardly without precedent. Deep-sea creatures have evolved their own ingenious techniques for sharpening their acuity to procure food. Consider the Pacific barreleye, whose translucent head enables the fish to聽聽in total darkness while stalking its next meal. Or the stout blacksmelt, whose oversized eyes聽聽from its otherwise modest frame. Or the scallop, whose 200 eyes peer behind mirror-like lenses, focusing in unison to聽聽the tiniest trace of light undiscernible to animals further down the food chain.

Back above the surface, businesses lie vulnerable to disruption even when supply chain visibility remains intact. When finished goods pile up in logjammed seaports, for example, manufacturers can offer little solace to customers denied on-time shipments. To ensure prompt delivery via sea, road, rail, or air, businesses require unimpeded visibility across all facets of logistics. They rely on cloud-based networks to track shipments in real time, collaborate with transportation partners, and secure alternatives when unforeseen contingencies thwart the best laid plans.

Here too, lessons emerge from the deep. Spanning distances exceeding anything comparable on land, the ocean organizes logistics through vast networks known collectively as the聽. Life-sustaining elements, such as carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorus, flow from the surface to the ocean floor and back again through intricate cycles of photosynthesis, decomposition, consumption, and sedimentation. The biological pump is also responsible for sending to the bottom of the sea much of the Earth鈥檚 excess carbon dioxide, which, if released, would oversaturate its atmosphere and overheat its surface. Through the resilient, never-ending exchange of resources essential to life both within and beyond its depths, the ocean maintains arguably the most elaborate logistical network ever devised.

Cloud-based business platforms operate on a planet-wide scale with unrivaled efficiency, too. Not only do they facilitate procurement, supply chains, and logistics between businesses and their trading partners, but in recent years they have begun to connect remote assets through the Internet of Things. This cloud-based capability, often called asset intelligence, has revolutionized the maintenance of equipment.

Suppose a utility operates a windmill farm offshore. All of the units require physical upkeep but accessing them can prove costly and dangerous. It can also prove futile if the windmill happens to be in perfect working order. But by linking together far-flung equipment virtually, businesses聽聽digital twins 鈥� in lieu of natural eyesight 鈥� to inspect these assets from afar. Such cloud-based asset intelligence networks aid the operations not only of energy companies, but of rural health clinics, security firms, and even soft drink purveyors. Think of all the distributed vending machines requiring replenishment.

But how, devoid of light, do the creepiest, crawliest critters inhabiting the deep sea manage to ascertain their surroundings? How do they gather reliable, actionable intelligence on 鈥渁sset鈥� and threat, friend and foe, near and far? Consider the tripod fish, which elegantly聽聽atop narrow, leg-like fins, poised to sense distant vibrations from potential prey. The beaked whale, meanwhile,听聽echolocation, not unlike bats and submarines. By emitting short, high-frequency clicking sounds and waiting for them to bounce back, these mammals develop an acute awareness of their surroundings, often to the peril of less sensitive beasts who become breakfast. The vampire squid, meanwhile,听聽bioluminescent fluid to lure hungry, if unsuspecting, targets. For their part, sharks and stingrays聽聽electric currents to map their surroundings and navigate using the Earth鈥檚 magnetic field.

As the聽Endurance聽shipwreck-turned-aquarium makes vivid, the abyss of the icy sea imposes formidable obstacles to survival in an environment prone to volatility and unforgiving to the unadaptable. Yet nature has innovated surprisingly durable solutions for illuminating the fundamental biological processes that nourish sprawling ecosystems undersea. The cloud does much the same for networks of businesses engaged in commerce amid drier, if similarly disruptive, conditions. In fact, the cloud and the ocean are beginning to converge on an increasingly sustainable future for all the Earth鈥檚 inhabitants. The visibility made possible by cloud-based networks holds the potential to聽significantly reduce聽the volume of plastics cluttering the sea and encumbering the creatures great and small who call it home. As digital technologies give rise to sustainable solutions, resilient ecosystems thrive even in the darkest corners on Earth.

To get ahead of rapid shifts in the marketplace, businesses are turning to the cloud, where increasingly integrated digital networks extend visibility and ensure resilience across their operations and those of their interconnected buyers and suppliers.

Offering flexibility, speed, security, and cost-effectiveness, the cloud continues to deliver undeniable value.聽, 85% of enterprises will adopt a cloud-first strategy by 2025. Doing so allows them to turn their attention to the task of applying cloud-based technologies to run their business, rather than running the technologies themselves.

Growing margins and greater efficiencies are two of the benefits enterprises can enjoy through聽, a comprehensive cloud offering that helps deliver a strategic approach to digital transformation. The package provides services and functionality to help businesses along their journey to becoming聽.

RISE with 麻豆原创 enables companies to gain insights from across their operations and combine them with those from trading partners to help guide decisions. For example, consider your favorite online apparel retailer. While they may fulfill your order in-house, they will need to engage with an external logistics provider to deliver it.

This is why integrated business networks are so important. To become connected, intelligent enterprises, businesses need strong collaboration with trading partners and full visibility into supply chains to ensure agility and resilience.

聽鈥� a cloud-based, integrated network of networks spanning procurement, asset management, supply chain, and logistics 鈥� provides immediate access and 360-degree visibility into one鈥檚 trading partners. Through a single digital connection, the network can replace messy one-to-one integrations with a tidy many-to-many, inter-company process flow. In doing so, it lends transparency and up-to-the-minute information across all buyers and suppliers, shippers, carriers, operators, and manufacturers so they may identify risks, plan for potential disruption, and collaborate toward innovation. 麻豆原创 Business Network helps make it possible to adjust operations as needed or pursue alternative sourcing in real time.

With these capabilities, the benefits can also be transferred to the customer, for example by providing visibility into their purchase from the time an order is placed to when the parcel arrives at the customer鈥檚 door. One of the many advantages of this level of transparency is that when the package is delayed, the retailer can alert the customer, ensuring the trusted relationship remains intact.

With the addition of the 麻豆原创 Business Network Starter Pack as part of RISE with 麻豆原创, customers can experience a networked ERP to aid their transition to the cloud and drive business transformation.

This enables customers to connect with their suppliers and trading partners from source to settlement through the networks鈥� procurement capabilities; connects their equipment suppliers and services providers to help ensure maximum uptime of critical assets on the production line through the networks鈥� asset intelligence capabilities; and allows customers to work with logistics providers to obtain the best shipping rates and track and trace products and materials using the networks鈥� logistics capabilities.

That鈥檚 the value of 麻豆原创 Business Network packaged as part of RISE with 麻豆原创: it enables organizations to future-proof their business, not only within their four walls but also beyond them, allowing customers to replace one-to-one connections and fragmented data-sharing with many-to-many collaborations and real-time data sharing.
