As Oracle Gold Partners, Data Communication Solutions (DCS) attends the Oracle Applications Users Group’s (OAUG) COLLABORATE event every year as a vendor. This year’s event in Denver gave us the scoop on hot topics in the industry:
- “Big data” –Large amounts of data about products sold by merchants can be analyzed with the right applications, such as Demantra. EDI brings in the data; what you do with it is your choice. Example, compare promotions campaigns of product sold in Wal-Mart and Target for future marketing improvements.
- Mobile Extensions – For mobile and tablet electronics, catalog applications promote convenient shopping at home and on-the-go to capture margin dollars from merchants. EDI directly connects to logistics cutting out the “middle man” for increased profits.
- Cloud Computing – Storage has become widely remote and easy to access. Although largely accepted, software as a service is not in big demand due to latency and pricing. Large programs are slowed on the Cloud, interfering with day-to-day needs. However, EDI is not affected by the application’s location.
- B2B – Assembling the components to be effective, reliable, secure, and economical is difficult due to the variances among customers, transports, and vendors. Benefit remains elusive for many companies with sales under $100,000,000 without the proper help. A FREE Assessment may be just what you are looking for to start the process.
These topics, among others, were trending among Oracle users at COLLABORATE 13, how have they affected YOUR business?
