New Forrester survey on supply chain decisions

Filed in archive Research on July 11, 2006

I read about a recent survey by Forrester Research of 167 supply chain decision-makers in North America. I thought it might be interesting for you to know about it.

According to this survey, 41% say they rely on their ERP vendors for supply chain solutions. And 43% rely on their best-of-breed vendors. For unique supply chain challenges companies look to custom-built applications.

For more than 50% of the firms surveyed, Web based portals were the preferred method of tools for visibility and collaboration.
