Breaking data silos in the cloud
How long and complex healthcare supply chains perform depends on how effectively data is shared at all stages. Yet that data is often locked in silos, guarded by closed systems that cannot communicate with each other. Jim Banks talks to Mutaz Shegewi, senior research director at IDC Research, and Wesley Randall of the Department of Supply Chain Management at the University of North Texas, to explore how cloud-based solutions can enable better data sharing and improve supply chain performance.
