Chinese people show interest to Supply Chain Execution

Noah Dixon, vice president of product management for Catalyst International, a provider of supply chain execution software and warehouse consulting
services, told Modern Material Handling: 'One of the things we've noticed over the last three or four months is that we get more hits at 1 a.m. on our Web site than at any other time of day. And what we've discovered is that it's traffic from China.' Noah Dixon thinks that Asian visitors are hungry for information about supply chain management. He said, 'They're looking at all the content we offer, and they'll spend 15 minutes a visit on the site.'The visitors aren't from multi-national companies doing business in China. They are from locally owned companies apparently looking for information on improving their operations. That creates an opportunity for smaller software companies with under $100 million in revenue, like Catalyst, which is Noah Dixon's company.
In my point of view, increase in the number of hits from a specific country shouldn't be the base to make the conclusion that Chinese people are moving toward SCE implementation because the state of information systems adoption is rather inflexible, but it certainly shows that it has become one of the issues they are thinking about. This will certainly be an opportunity for SCE companies in 5-7 years, but before that is a bit far from reality.
