Network-centric operations during transition in global enterprise

摘要

Network-centric operations (NCO) recognise that interdependence is crucial to an organisation's future. NCO occurs when systems are linked or networked by a common infrastructure, share information across geographic borders, and dynamically reallocate resources based on operational needs. It makes an environment where seamless collaboration between networks, systems or elements within systems is possible. One of typical areas of interest is the supplier networks which are triggered to work concurrently. Such networks suffer enormous stress in case of transition. On the operational level, the main pitfalls in this process chain are the complexity of communication rules, the plethora of communication devices and interfaces, and the insufficient data quality from customer' perspective which in particular arise in case of major changes (system change or change of ownership).
