Sterling Commerce Shifts from EDI to the Supply Chain

摘要

The one constant in the supply chain technology marketplace ever since it blossomed in the 1990s has been change, namely market consolidation. While the acquisitive enterprise solution providers— particularly SAP, Oracle and Infor—have rapidly expanded their portfolios by purchasing other companies, that strategy has worked out well for other technology companies, too. According to analyst firm Frost & Sullivan, the global market for supply chain management software and services was $6.5 billion in 2006, and that number is expected to reach $11.6 billion by 2013.
