Now that's a question I bet a lot of people would like some insight on! A new report entitled "How to Select a Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) System," published by Technology Evaluation Centers (TEC), is now available. In this report, TEC analysts, P.J. Jakovljevic and Khudsiya Quadri, provide key pointers on selecting a sales and operations planning (S&OP) system, by exploring
- how a mature S&OP process can help tackle key business issues,
- why technology is required for success on the S&OP front, and
- key S&OP system capabilities to look for.
(full disclosure: we were a sponsor of the report)
While we are on the topic of S&OP.... Trevor Miles is currently at the IE Group's Sales and Operations Planning Summit and is tweeting - he has some interesting insights. Follow Trevor to see more.
