Capgemini Introduces New Offerings to Support Oracle’s ‘Information-Driven Value Chain’ Capabilities

Capgemini, one of the world’s foremost providers of consulting, technology and outsourcing services, today announced it will leverage Oracle’s Information-Driven Value Chain solutions to help its clients with improved supply and demand planning. Oracle’s Information-Driven Value Chain solutions are a comprehensive suite of supply chain technologies that help companies manage the emerging complexities of supply chain management. Working with Oracle, Capgemini will provide in-depth business research surrounding Oracle’s Information-Driven Value Chain capabilities, extending the companies’ shared commitment to bridge the gap between technology and business to help produce sustainable results for its clients.

Capgemini is leveraging Oracle’s Information-Driven Value Chain capabilities including Oracle’s Demantra, Oracle Transportation Management, Oracle Advanced Planning & Scheduling, Oracle’s Agile PLMand Oracle Business Intelligence.

“With the struggling global economy, increasing customer demand and rising transportation costs, there is little room for error in supply and demand chain planning,” said Lynn Anderson, North American Oracle Service Line Leader for Capgemini. “Combining Oracle’s Information-Driven Value Chain solutions and the industry experience of Capgemini, we are able to make supply and demand chain management more scientific and strategic, leading to increased opportunities. Armed with tools and insight, supply chain managers are able to turn a plethora of information into visionary supply chain designs, streamlined planning, and ultimately are able to provide customers with the right product, at the right place and at the right time.”

Through Capgemini-sponsored research and industry insight, clients will receive information and advice from Capgemini reports, such as the Future Supply Chain 2016 Study, the Third-Party Logistics Study and the Annual Trends and Issues in Logistics and Supply Chain Management Study, which will help to develop an in-depth understanding of clients’ supply chain environment. Capgemini and Oracle have also teamed up to sponsor a study for the Council for Forecast Accuracy for the Trade Promotions Management Association with results expected out in the next few months.

“Oracle’s Information-Driven Value Chain applications respond to the need among organizations for solutions that provide flexibility across the extended supply, demand and design chains,” said Oracle’s Vice President Product Strategy, Jon Chorley. “Our capabilities combined with Capgemini’s research and consultancy offerings will give our joint customers valuable insight to help them gain more control over their supply, design and demand chains.”
