Today we are witnessing a seismic shift in information technology, the kind that comes around every decade or so. It's called the cloud, and it's having a huge impact on business. In the past, IT was about productivity. Now, in the cloud, it's about collaboration, shared information and collective intelligence. Cloud-based, multi-enterprise business process platforms provide a breakout option for companies wanting to drive new levels of data integration and process collaboration among all partners in the extended value chain. Such platforms represent "business networks" that can provide agility and rapid elasticity in response to unexpected change in demand and supply. Of course, migrating to the cloud brings with it a number of potential challenges and concerns around security, data loss, service level agreements, and data ownership.

This webinar saw business process management expert and author, Peter Fingar and E2open Senior Vice President Lorenzo Martinelli discuss the imperatives and challenges of transforming 20th-century supply chains into 21st-century business networks. The "wow" about cloud computing isn't about on-demand IT; it's about on-demand business innovation.
