CLOUD IN SCM
AMAL DEV M
CLOUD : PFIZER CASE STUDY
Leading companies are
building a track record
for cloud computing-
driven delivery and after
over 25 acquisitions in
two decades Pfizer
needed to re-engineer
its complex supply
chain to enable greater
Pfizer set about
transforming its
supply chain to
“device
independence”, by
moving to one
common cloud-
based platform for
management of the
Pfizer required its
500 suppliers to
implement a cloud
computing-based,
common-
information-
exchange framework
on which each
supplier was
Pfizer went from zero
shipment traceability
to a device
independent
platform that has
already handled
more than 40,000
shipments in 2 years
and Pfizer is now
CLOUD : THE NEW NORMAL
• Coming into 2020, the worldwide public Cloud services
market was on track to grow by 17% for a total of $266.4
billion in revenues this year—up from $227.8 billion last
year
• Breaking the Cloud down into two different segments,
software as a service (SaaS) will claim $116 billion of the
market in 2020, while Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) will
hit $50 billion
• Safe to say, COVID-19 will elevate those numbers even
further as companies scramble to find technology that
supports more remote, socially-distanced work
arrangements
• The global SaaS-based SCM market size is valued at $6,317
million in 2020, and is estimated to reach $9,420 million by
2023, growing at a CAGR of 19% from 2021 to 2023

CLOUD : DIFFERENTIATIOR FOR SCM
Volatility
Cloud computing facilitates enhanced responsiveness
to supply chain disruptions
Data Volume
By leveraging the surging data volumes, cloud
solutions facilitate the actionable insights that make
digital supply networks intelligent
Digital Technology
By moving to the cloud, organizations can operate
with increased flexibility and mass-customize their
products and services by faster adoption of new age
technologies
E2E Visibility
The connected cloud enables real-time collaboration that makes end-to-end
visibility for the supply chain possible
Connected
• Real-time visibility: supply chains become more
dynamic, secure and interactive
• Seamless collaboration: supply chain capabilities are
harmonized beyond physical boundaries
• Highly evolved operating models: product/service
delivery is exponentially improved to meet customer’s
evolving demands
Scalable
• Maximum efficiency: integration of people, process
and technology
• Organizational flexibility: digital plug-and play
enablers provide natural “configure and re-configure”
capabilities
• Personalized experiences: channel-centric supply
networks help foster individualized products and
services
CLOUD : IDEAL SUPPLY CHAIN
Rapid
• Enhanced responsiveness: using better information
and sophisticated analytics to interpret and react
speedily to disruptions, including demand and
supply signals
• Proactive prevention: decision support, driven by
predictive analytics, helps to confirm reliability and
rapid adaptability
• Last mile postponement: swift repurposing of
organizational assets at short notice helps to
ensure that supplies always meet changing
demands
Intelligent
• Actionable insights: innovative data analysis
supports advanced decision-making
• Automated execution: seamless human machine
interaction increases operational efficiency
• Enhanced, accelerated innovation: digital inspires
and supports creative advances in design,
personnel, operations and customer relationships
CLOUD: SCM CONTROL TOWER
Solution
• Cloud enabled Control tower systems
connect trading partners and service
providers to create a vibrant, “always on”
electronic community
• The data network spans the globe and must
be capable of integrating with the
proprietary systems of hundreds of partners
Problem
• Supply chains face a common challenge that
detailed knowledge of operations is held
locally creating silos—organizational,
functional and cultural
• Undermines effective collaboration between
different elements of the supply chain,
increasing the likelihood of problems
emerging at a late stage, and limiting options
for response
CLOUD : THE BENEFITS
Speed
• Much faster to deploy
than linear on-
premise ERP
implementations
• SaaS-based SCM
solutions facilitate
rapid demonstration
of ROI and avoid long
IT project queues
• Upgrades can be
delivered more timely
with limited
manpower
Single Source of Truth
• Enabling a single
source of the truth
• Accessible
anywhere/anytime
• Easily shared on a
real-time basis
• SaaS-based solutions
can quickly lead to
the connectivity that
turns traditional
supply chains into
supply networks.
Cost
• Low cost-of-entry for
fast-growing
companies to build a
business case and
gain executive buy-in
• Reduce the need for
substantial upfront
capital investment
integration and
configuration costs
• Flexible
implementation of
SCM capabilities in
small and mid-sized
companies for rapid
growth
• Route to experiment
with innovation at a
lower cost, without
long-term
commitment
Business Value
CLOUD : THE APPLICATIONS
Supply
Chain
Planning
Although levels of
adoption in this segment
are low, especially in large
enterprises, the supply
chain planning (SCP)
market is expected to grow
rapidly as current
concerns—such as data
security and ERP/cloud
integration—are overcome
Sourcing
&
Procurement
There are high levels of
adoption in this segment,
largely because of the
rapid implementation, low
cost and innovation
provided by SaaS solutions
Manufacturing
On-premise is the
dominant software delivery
model for manufacturing
management. However,
there are alternative
delivery models for
software supporting
environmental, health and
safety activities, quality
management, and business
intelligence
Logistics
Cloud computing is
rapidly maturing to
support
collaborative
transportation
management
solutions (TMS)
along with other
aspects of
transportation
management, such
as sourcing of
network capacity ,
CLOUD : THE ORGANIZATIONAL IMPACT
Value
• A value-creation function—which in some cases is an actual responsibility, akin to a
program management office—works in concert with the business to assess and realize
value from an IT initiative, drive innovation and provide an enhanced level of insight for
stakeholders
Architecture
• To manage complex solution designs that may include combinations of private cloud, managed cloud, virtual private
cloud and public cloud, a business architecture capability is required—one that pools resources and provides
knowledge across key business functions and delivery needs
Delivery
• The service delivery environment today is highly complex in part because the architectural environment is more
complex—a hybrid of legacy and cloud computing technologies.
• In response to that complexity, there is a growing need for management skills outside the traditional sweet spot of IT
managers. These skills will need to span service integration, an informed buying capability, contract facilitation and
monitoring, and vendor development.
CLOUD : THE FUTURE
• Cloud-based computing
applications are expected
to transform the PLM
market in the medium-
term, with these solutions
being used to enable field
force product support, as
well as facilitating
Marketing in
collecting/analyzing
customer data
Product Lifecycle
Management
• New next-generation
applications and real time
data platforms are coming to
market, with the first wave of
cloud computing based
applications for SCM already
available
• Processes that used to take
hours can now be executed
in seconds with in-memory
database technology
In-Memory
Databases
• Basic supply chain
analytics will increasingly
devolve into tactical
departmental analytics,
while a more strategic
usage of supply chain
performance management
(SCPM) will, over time,
replace this with a robust
view of supply chain
management
Analytics
CLOUD IN SCM : SUMMARY
Looking ahead, there are three phases of supply chain modernization ongoing
• The first is migration to the Cloud
• Followed by process modernization supported by growth technologies such as AI
and advanced analytics
• Finally, process augmentation, as companies will implement emerging
technologies such as hyper-automation to deploy convergent SCM solutions
across their global supply chains
