Reinventing Supply Chains for an Uncertain Future
Today, businesses are looking for ways to respond quickly to current and potential future disruptions. The use of real-time data and advanced analytics to identify potential disruptions and understand their impact on the end-to-end supply chain is essential to being able to make informed decisions and respond quickly to mitigate risk.
This article will discuss key insights into today’s supply chain challenges and how to address them with a high degree of flexibility, allowing an organization to respond quickly to changing internal and external demands. We will examine pressing issues like demand volatility, business disruptions, inventory optimization struggles and talent gaps currently facing supply chains. The limitations of traditional linear strategies and outdated technologies will also be explored. Finally, we will present advanced solutions like artificial intelligence, blockchain, digital twin modeling and real-time data analytics that are revolutionizing supply chain planning.
Making The Move from Paper-Based, to Digital Signing
According to Forbes.com, “Companies are increasingly turning to paperless office principles and for very good reasons. Paper is costly, inefficient and increasingly unnecessary as paperless technologies become widespread and easy to use. Businesses in the United States waste $8 billion on managing paper each year, with an average price tag of $20 to file a document, according to Corp! Magazine.”

Better Warehouse Systems Start with Emulation
The explosion in online shopping has been a boon for small retailers, massive distribution and logistics companies – and everything in between.
Simply put, if you’re not into e-commerce, you’re not in the game.
What’s the upside? If you’re a warehouse operator or integrator of warehouse systems, the necessity of increasingly automated solutions are needed to improve operations and increase throughput.
And with simulation and emulation tools, you can now implement truly innovative technology – with less risk.
Synchronizing Supply & Demand in 2023 and Beyond
Subject matter experts from Kalypso take a probing look at the evolution of the supply chain, where the acceleration of key issues and trends over the past few years has left few industries and businesses unaffected. Volatility and constraints in labor, materials, resources and capacity have been compounded with limited end-to-end visibility and an ever-growing regulatory environment to create increasingly complex challenges for supply chain leaders.
We profile those challenges, as well as the central driving market forces that have created them, before exploring the future state of the supply chain and what actions supply chain leaders should take.
Pentesting Re-defined
Let’s say you find a SQL database directly accessible from the internet. It’s the same story all over. There’s really no reason you should have this sort of system directly on the internet. There are much more secure ways to make this system available.
So why do we want to waste time as a tester to try and hack something we already know is insecure and why does the security manager need to pay more for this effort? The only real value is that you use this information to prove to other managers that this access needs to be shut down. So my argument here is that, once you find something that point blank doesn’t belong on the internet, your efforts as a company should be to put resources towards fixing the problem rather than proving that it’s a problem in the first place. It’s a waste of effort at this point.
How Often to Perform Pentesting
IT Leadership is beginning to realize that one Pentest a year is not enough. What happens if an engineer makes a configuration mistake exposing your systems environment one week after your Pentest has been completed? You are basically exposed for a whole year if your vulnerability scans do not detect the issue.
Pentesting as a service is currently offered by a number of companies in this automated fashion. It’s only a matter of time before industry leaders start taking advantage of these technologies. Unfortunately, many organizations only implement the tools required for compliance, but those organizations who are serious about data security will gravitate towards these sorts of technologies that make your security program more effective.
Scalability in Document Management Systems
As digitization and process improvement continues, boosted by globalization, remote work, and the reduction of paper-based and manual processes in general, the reliance on document management systems increases in step. As cloud-based applications and storage also increase, there is an opportunity to leverage cloud-native services to create working document management systems (DMS) that can keep pace with the growth of any organization.

Taking The Lead on IT Automation
As IT automation becomes a critical element in digital transformation and for achieving other top business goals, IT leaders must not focus solely on technical matters like selecting the right technology. They should also become evangelists by developing a strategic vision for IT automation and serving as a proponent of culture change to overcome the resistance present at many organizations today.
