Modern: What are the trends you're watching in the supply chain management software space, especially execution systems? Wohlwend: One of the most interesting developments I'm watching is the move to the Cloud. It has been there for transportation management systems (TMS) for some time, but there hasn't been a market for warehouse management systems (WMS) since that's a real-time execution system. If it goes down, you can't ship and people lose their jobs. That's now changing. Solution providers are making significant investments in Cloud technology and security, and that means more organizations are comfortable migrating their on-premise solutions to the Cloud. That's going to allow younger solution providers, who have built their technologies on the Cloud, to catch or surpass some well-known players. Those older solution providers are going to have to build a Cloud solution.
