StorageTek: Inventory management boosts strategic growth for data storage provider

摘要

In a business where more than 50% of each quarter's volume is produced and shipped in the last week of the quarter, achieving StorageTek's goal of synchronizing supply chain execution around the customer order required substantial coordination. But "getting everyone.. .to execute off the same customer order is what drives sustaining value," said Roy Perry, StorageTek's corporate vice president of global supply chain. With annual revenues of more than $2 billion and more than 22,000 customers in 55 countries, StorageTek is known worldwide for providing a broad range of data storage options, including tape automation, disk storage systems and storage networking.
