One important variable in the Supply-Chain Management (SCM) cycle is collaboration. The constraint is time; necessitating real-time connectivity.

Collaboration within and between corporations in today's market arena is not only vital but is also very complex. The need to streamline operations and directly target opportunities has increased due to shrinking margins and a tightening economy. Furthermore, inventory must be moved quickly in order to free up warehouse space, receive the highest profit return on the product, accurately anticipate and meet demands; furthermore, corporations must be able to respond positively and immediate to requests in order to stay competitive.

These types of immediate, collaborative business events require enormous amounts of data, risk & asset management, forecasting, among other related analyses. These requirements translate into the fact that corporations must have transparent and real-time access to all of the pertinent data, the business logic and reporting mechanisms. The failsafe manner in which this type of serious data manipulation and decision-making occurs is the integration of the back-end systems supporting the infrastructure (databases, applications, etc.).

While relational databases are critical, they do not have the capability to publish the information in real-time, to streamline your business and decision-analytic processes, nor to monitor the disparate business units and B2B partners collaborating in the entire supply-chain. Today's aggressive corporations employ a variety of best-of-breed software and hardware solutions; architecting and deploying the secure and fail-safe integration of these solutions is the key to EAI and at the heart of Arambh' expertise. Both sides of the firewall need to be addressed as data transfer occurs in the A2A arena (intra-company) as well as in the B2B (Business-to-Business), B2C (Business-to-clients), and B2X (Business-to-Exchange) arenas. Arambh' ensures that all of your systems (e.g., ERP, CRM, among others), documents, and data repositories are leveraged as a coordinated, holistic IT infrastructure that propels your market leadership position with a powerful and inimitable competitive advantage.
