Register for January 13 Dinner and Meeting
Speaker: Mr. Gary Barraco of Amber Road
Topic: The Global Outlook on Global Trade Management 2016
In this now flat world, global trade continues to rise dramatically, and behind that steady growth are several important trends. Global trade is also influenced by radical changes to manufacturing processes, technologies, supply and demand, and distribution channels.
Three key trends driving these changes will inevitably become more influential in the coming year – transforming economies, cultures, and the manufacturing footprint. As a result, supply chain executives are becoming more familiar with global trade management (GTM) solutions and recognize the positive impact that it can have on their cycle times and bottom lines. As GTM becomes more mainstream, it's driving more companies to initiate GTM projects.
This presentation will focus on the key trends affecting supply chains all around the world, the outlook for 2016, and software solutions that can address these challenges.
