Cleansing the data while you manage the move
THREE KEY FACTS ………….
• FACT – in the next 18 to 24 months 80% of the volume on the network will be moved to the QuickLink 2.0 platform
• FACT – we will be running projects with 25 to 30 clients across Europe, closely analysing the data flows to maximize the potential of QuickLink 2.0
• FACT – you cannot get the most from future analytics unless we are apportioning the data elements to the correct master data
Stop thinking sponge, start thinking patisserie
• The QuickLink 1.0 network can be considered like a basic sponge. We took the basics, applied a simple recipe (the canonicals) and made something better
• The QuickLink 2.0 network takes that recipe and allows us to turn home cooking into an art-form
• The additional elements will be tailored for the specific needs and tastes of each of our clients
• The applications and analytics turn it into a gourmet delight
The money is found by enhanced collaboration
Adding collaborative steps to a operational data flow releases significant revenue
growth or supply chain optimisation savings.
Analyst Remarks
Companies of Tomorrow will have more accurate, timely, and complete supply chain visibility than their competitors. This has been the elusive goal of many companies inthe 15+ years that I’ve been researching the market, but I firmly believe that the Supply Chain Operating Network model, even though it’s not a silver bullet, is the way forward in achieving improved supply chain visibility.

Known knowns ….
“There are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns -‐-‐ the ones we don't
know we don't know” Donald Rumsfeld, February 2002
