For years, supply chain professionals have talked about visibility, resilience, and efficiency. The tools we have used, ERP systems, spreadsheets, and siloed databases, have served us well, however as complexity increases, and the margin for error narrows, there has been a growing recognition that patchwork systems are no longer enough.

That is exactly the direction taken by InterSystems and their customers, as detailed at InterSystems READY 2025 in Orlando, Florida.
