Mary Ann Holder and the rise of a supply chain business networks professional? 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.

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.

MaryAnn Holder is Chief Marketing Officer at One Network Enterprises, a provider of the blockchain-enabled network platform, The Real Time Value Network. Back in 2002, Greg Brady, a supply chain visionary and Ranjit Notani a pioneer in multi-enterprise collaboration technology came to the conclusion that the traditional paradigm of business-to-business collaboration built around enterprise-centric software was fundamentally flawed. Businesses must take an outside-in network view and together serve the end consumer. In May 2003, they acquired Elogex, a cloud-based logistics software company, and founded One Network Enterprises with a vision to create consumer-driven business networks. They developed a network platform that enabled entire business communities to collaborate and work together to serve the consumer. Brady and Notani brought the network way of conducting business just as LinkedIn did so to managing professional contacts. They re-imagined how business software is built, delivered, and used for today’s dynamic and highly inter-connected world.
