One Network Enterprises, the global provider of multi-party digital network platform and services, today announced that Gartner, Inc., a leading IT research and advisory firm, has positioned the Company as a Leader in its Magic Quadrant for Multienterprise Supply Chain Business Networks report. According to the report, “Multienterprise supply chain business networks support a community of trading partners — of any tier and type within a network — that need to coordinate and execute supply chain processes across multiple enterprises.”

Multiparty networks have all the key elements missing from blockchain 1.0, including: Scalability – using a scalable grid architecture, multiparty network support tens of thousands of trading partners and the transaction volume that entails. Confidentiality – because they are built using multiparty permissions frameworks with granular and role-based permissions to ensure secure data access. Functionality – by providing powerful, multiparty apps such as logistics management that run on the network and write to a blockchain. Community Master Data Management (MDM) – that manages and synchronizes data across different systems and parties to ensure data is trusted. Combined, these features enable powerful functionality that can support all parties, including buyers, sellers, fulfillment, and logistics partners via a shared app. This allows all parties to transact while showing only the relevant authorized slice of the data to each partner.

The network has over 75,000 participating organizations, allowing customers to find partners and collaborate around their plans. It supports industries in CPG, retail, restaurant and foodservice, healthcare and pharmaceuticals, high tech, aerospace, defense, and government, automotive, and logistics service providers. According to the report, One Network has taken several steps with its planning applications to increase automation and usability for its customers by providing intelligent agents that perform a host of functions such as forecasting, replenishment, sourcing, and transportation optimization.

We are oftentimes reacting to how people are being trained in the consumer world. Their expectation in the consumer world is so far and above what they expect in the B2B marketing world. How can AI help us make better decisions with all of the data? Using AI for all this definitely will help over time. We can track in our technology where the trends are, most buying patterns and how suppliers and hubs interact with one another and what are the modes and mechanisms that make a company more efficient. If you think about supply chain and the efficiencies and the inefficiencies that they can have, we look very heavily at the data to see where people are saving operationally and where they’ve been able to aggregate economies of scale by using a network platform. Again, the technology is changing us. We’re shaping the technology but the technology is shaping us.
