SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 17, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- ORACLE
OPENWORLD -- To help organizations plan and execute more
efficient and agile supply chain operations, Oracle has expanded
Oracle Supply Chain Management (SCM) Cloud with new collaboration,
integration, and digital assistant capabilities. The latest updates
to Oracle SCM Cloud include the introduction of Oracle Business
Network, a B2B network, and a new digital assistant for supply
chain.
"In many cases, the natural complexity of an organization's
supply chain is made worse by the complexity of the technology used
to manage it," said Jon Chorley,
chief sustainability officer and group vice president, supply chain
management, Oracle. "To outpace change and stay ahead of
competitors amid changing market conditions, organizations need
technology that removes complexity and provides clear and
actionable insights into their business. The new innovations within
Oracle SCM Cloud help customers streamline collaboration with new
trading partners and improve operational intelligence so they can
move faster and outperform the market."
Oracle Business Network
Oracle SCM Cloud includes
comprehensive capabilities to connect various trading parties for
B2B collaboration, either directly or through third-party networks,
such as Transcepta for e-invoicing, Justransform for logistics and
GHX for healthcare. The release of the Oracle Business Network
further simplifies this process by enabling customers to easily
search for and connect to trading partners who are already
registered on the network directly from within Oracle Cloud
Applications. This enables seamless electronic exchange of business
documents and removes the complexity of establishing and supporting
these trading relationships. In addition, a planned integration
with Oracle DataFox will enable real-time trading partner insights
from DataFox's AI-sourced-and-managed firmographic dataset to
reduce risk and to further improve business agility.
Oracle Digital Assistant for Supply Chain
Management
Digital assistants represent a new paradigm for
user interaction, where there is a "conversation" between the user
and the digital assistant with "skills" to monitor activity and
spot and solve problems rapidly and effectively. Oracle Cloud
Applications are developing digital assistant skills across a wide
variety of use cases, including supply chain. Oracle Digital
Assistant for Supply Chain Management provides an intuitive and
conversational user interface to help customers simplify root-cause
analysis for improved supply chain performance. Initial
functionality will focus on logistics uses cases (including
checking on status, tracking deviations from plans, and reporting
incidents), with plans to expand to all aspects of supply
chain.
Oracle was named a Leader in Gartner's recent "Magic Quadrant
for Supply Chain Planning System of Record." Oracle was named a
Leader in the "Magic Quadrant for Warehouse Management Systems" and
"Magic Quadrant for Transportation Management Systems."
