LONDON, 5th September 2007 – Wesupply.com announces its underwriting of a new Aberdeen Group benchmark report titled “Supply Chain On Demand:

Enable Flexible Business Processes” which identifies the abilities of supply chain applications in managing risk and change in adapting business processes over time.

The report researching over 450 companies, assesses the capabilities of users of On-Demand applications versus on-premise or custom/home grown solutions and highlights the advantages that On Demand solutions provide for enabling flexible business processes.

The findings show that;

? Across the key functional areas of supply chain applications (B2B connectivity, Supply Chain Execution, Supply Chain Collaboration & Supply Chain Planning), Best-in-Class companies are 2X more likely to be using On Demand applications than all others.
? Users of On Demand applications are on average three times more likely to have better process capabilities in the areas of logistics and supply chain collaboration.
? 39% of companies are implementing On Demand supply chain applications in response to the need to keep up with business change.

"Users of On Demand applications for inter-enterprise collaborative processes like logistics collaboration and supplier collaboration are demonstrating enhanced flexibility in managing their business processes. In addition these users are experiencing faster time to value and lower TCO.", says Nari Viswanathan, Research Director of Supply Chain and Logistics at Aberdeen.

“As this report notes ‘On Demand solution providers often have much greater resources and experience in on-boarding trading partners onto a collaboration platform than a company has in-house’ and they ‘also come to the table with networks of pre-connected suppliers and carriers, which helps to further reduce rollout times and increase trading partner acceptance’ highlights Brian Marsden, CEO, Wesupply.com. “Our Network Architected solutions and services are supporting organisations around the world to do just that”.
