Sustainable Supply Chain Unlocking the Power of Supply Chain Connectivity with Business Networks - a Chat With SAP's Muhammad Alam
Hey everyone! Welcome back to the Digital Supply Chain podcast. I'm Tom Raftery and today we have a special guest, Muhammad Alam, who is with SAP and has two jobs there. He's the product and engineering leader for one of SAP's five solution areas called Intelligent Spend and Business Network, and also the General Manager for SAP Business Network.
In this episode, we dive into the topic of the digitization of supply chain and the key role of the business network in it. Muhammad explains how the Business Network is about breaking down silos in a company's value chain to create value for the organization and its trading partners.
He also talks about how SAP Business Network is different than other networks, how it's unique in its ability to create a seamless connection between the network and the systems of execution, and how it can help companies in different industries to increase their on-time delivery, reduce fulfillment lead time and expediting costs.
We also hear how the network is beneficial for trading partners as it is a low cost channel of acquiring customers and growing their business in a predictable way.
Overall, a very enlightening conversation that I'm sure you'll enjoy.
