Preparing supply chains for business volatility

A new IDC Analyst Brief examines how supply chain application decisions are evolving in response to persistent market disruptions. Their findings offer critical insights for supply chain leaders navigating uncertainty.

The analysis reveals that 82% of supply chain leaders identify macroeconomic issues (tariffs, inflation, recession fears, and energy costs) as their primary concern. Yet most organizations lack the capabilities to respond effectively when conditions change rapidly.

IDC identifies three key advantages of an integrated business suite that brings together data, AI, and applications:

• Comprehensive, 360-degree visibility across networks
• Data-driven decision confidence
• Market-speed responsiveness
