PRESS RELEASE
Supply & Demand Chain Executive Announces Its 2011 Supply & Demand Chain Executive 100
DiCentral Awarded by Leading Business Magazine "100 Great Supply Chain Projects"
Houston TX, May 3, 2011 – Today Supply & Demand Chain Executive Magazine, the executive's user manual for successful supply and demand chain transformation, announced its ninth-annual listing of the Supply & Demand Chain Executive 100, highlighting "100 Great Supply Chain Projects."
DiCentral is being acknowledged for their collaboration with Gamo Outdoor USA. With their trading partner community managed by DiCentral, Gamo was able to eliminate the cost of maintaining an in-house EDI operation and dedicate more time and energy on core competencies. The Managed Services solution also provides Gamo with full visibility into their trading partner community, enabling the company to make better and faster business decisions. In addition, Managed Services allows Gamo to shift spending to a more predictable, ongoing expense, compared to the resources necessary to manage an in-house EDI operation.
Ten years ago, Supply & Demand Chain Executive announced its first "100" list of supply chain solution providers, consultants and other organizations that were helping lead the way in transforming companies' supply and demand chains. This year the magazine focused the criteria for its "100" feature on supply chain transformation projects that have had a significant impact on the companies going through the implementations.
Through an online submission process, Supply & Demand Chain Executive collected information on supply chain transformation projects, including information on the objectives, scope, timeline and results of the project. The submissions were evaluated by the magazine's editorial staff primarily based on: ambitiousness/scope of the project; creative application of technologies/solutions/services used; extent of the business results/impact; and clarity of submission.
"Our goal with this year's '100' is to put the spotlight on successful and innovative transformation projects that are delivering bottom-line value to small, medium and large enterprises across the different functions that comprise the supply chain," said Barry Hochfelder, editor of Supply & Demand Chain Executive. "The projects featured in the '100' article can serve as a roadmap for supply chain executives looking for new opportunities to drive improvement in their own operations."
After receiving nomination forms, the Supply & Demand Chain Executive editorial staff identified applicants that best fit the stated criteria for the "100." DiCentral and other recipients will be featured in the cover story of the June 2011 issue of Supply & Demand Chain Executive, as well as online at www.SDCExec.com/SDCE100.
