It's one of the most urgent challenges facing manufacturers today: how to support a digitalized supply chain. The reality is that it demands a flexible, distributed, agile, and scalable IT architecture. For most manufacturers, this requires serious transformation.

We’ve concentrated our extensive experience in supporting customers’ digital transformation into this practical guide. Discover the common strategies and practices any manufacturer can apply to enhance their digital resilience—regardless of the size or type of their business, or where they are on their journey.

Highlights:

  • Improve visibility along the supply chain—learn how interconnection enables secure, real-time exchange of data with supply chain partners, distributors and customers in regional interconnection hubs.
  • Support new as-a-service business models—explore how on-demand, direct access to cloud platforms enables rapid deployment to support growing demand and scale delivery of new services
  • Scale smart manufacturing technologies—read how digital infrastructure extended to the edge enables low-latency data exchange, machine-to-machine communication and real-time data analytics
Network efficiency and workflow latency issues are creating challenges when connecting and engaging with distributed production sites, dispersed suppliers and ecosystem partners, and remote workers. This is driving the need to shorten distances and optimize network segments between the different manufacturing stakeholders.
