Data or apps?

Business Strategy enabled through an

“Application Centric” IT approach

(SAP, Oracle, etc.)

Data/information is an artifact of

business applications and is used to

validate and optimize business strategy

Integration is subservient to the needs of

the applications

Business Strategy

Information driven Business Strategy is

“Data / Information centric”

Applications capture, collect and filter data/information.

Applications can be changed as needed and the

data/information is the “High Value” asset

Integration facilitates the ability to change applications

and consolidate data. It is critical to the information

business and assembly of information

• 4 million queries received by Google

• 2,460,000 pieces of content shared on Facebook

Mass customization & data

Mass customization offers:

• Economies of scope versus

economies of scale

• Variety and customization through

flexibility and responsiveness

• Platform leverage with components

assembled based on customer needs

• Heterogeneous niches

• Low cost, high quality tailored

solutions and services

Mass customization is based on the premise that people don’t want choice

(or to have to make choices) but rather want exactly what they specified.

In Summary

Organizations should center their platform decision strategy

around the question of whether to be data-centric or

application-centric

Nobody knows what data will be available, or from what

sources, in the future to provide exciting and fresh insights

to the global supply chain

It’s critical to identify and choose a platform with both data

integration and data management requirements in mind
