A survey of manufacturing and logistics executives found that cloud computing continues to be an area of investment. Six in ten decision-makers are currently implementing cloud solutions, with just over one third (36 percent) of respondents implementing two or more cloud solutions.
Order management, supply chain visibility and warehouse management are the most commonly used cloud solutions among manufacturers today.
The survey results were announced at the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP) annual conference by Sterling Commerce, a unit of IBM. Overall, respondents were cautious about the economic environment and therefore focused on the risks associated with a loss of customer relationships. To minimize that risk, manufacturers indicated they plan to invest in "smart network" capabilities that include more collaborative risk sharing, supply chain synchronization, and secure, compliant B2B commercial interactions.
