E-business

• e-business—that is, a company that performs various business functions electronically. • Introducing Web-based systems and electronic commerce applications in all of its operations. • Need to solve the problems caused by multiple supply chain operations.

§ Embarking on a four-year plan, the company started the transformation in 1999. § Siemens had decided on a dual approach that it would use its own inhouse information systems capabilities where it made sense to do so, but it would also go out-of-house to purchase some systems from major vendors.

Siemens strategic goals were to: • Improve its readiness for extended electronic commerce by standardizing hundreds of business process into minimum number of operations by application of electronic commerce (For example, the company went from over 300 different process applications to 29.) • Redesign the information technology infrastructure (software components that best fit the company’s needs, each from a different vendor), integrated into an enterprise wide platform.

KNOWLEDGE BASE MANAGEMENT • Using SAP systems , along with software from i2 Technology and IBM, the company built functional systems that link the enterprise, ensure support functions, and connect with the company’s supply chain partners.

SAP & i2 supply chain solutions 

SAP  SAP, started in 1972 by five former IBM employees in Mannheim, Germany, states that it is the world's largest inter-enterprise software company and the world's fourth-largest independent software supplier, overall.  The original name for SAP was German: Systeme, Anwendungen, Produkte, German for "Systems Applications and Products." The original SAP idea was to provide customers with the ability to interact with a common corporate database for a comprehensive range of applications.

Cont. 

I2 supply chain solutions:  i2 solutions integrate with data, processes, and systems belonging to suppliers, customers, distributors, carriers, partners, and contract manufacturers.  i2 was founded in 1988 by Sanjiv Sidhu and Ken Sharma, two visionaries in what would eventually be known as the supply chain management industry. Sanjiv and Ken were passionate about applying technology and best practices to eliminate inefficiencies in business.
