Big Tech disrupted disruption

If you'd like an essay-formatted version of this post to read or share, here's a link to it on pluralistic.net, my surveillance-free, ad-free, tracker-free blog:

https://pluralistic.net/2024/02/08/permanent-overlords/#republicans-want-to-defund-the-police

Before "disruption" turned into a punchline, it was a genuinely exciting idea. Using technology, we could connect people to one another and allow them to collaborate, share, and cooperate to make great things happen.

It's easy (and valid) to dismiss the "disruption" of Uber, which "disrupted" taxis and transit by losing $31b worth of Saudi royal money in a bid to collapse the world's rival transportation system, while quietly promising its investors that it would someday have pricing power as a monopoly, and would attain profit through price-gouging and wage-theft.

Uber's disruption story was wreathed in bullshit: lies about the "independence" of its drivers, about the imminence of self-driving taxis, about the impact that replacing buses and subways with millions of circling, empty cars would have on traffic congestion. There were and are plenty of problems with traditional taxis and transit, but Uber magnified these problems, under cover of "disrupting" them away.

But there are other feats of high-tech disruption that were and are genuinely transformative – Wikipedia, GNU/Linux, RSS, and more. These disruptive technologies altered the balance of power between powerful institutions and the businesses, communities and individuals they dominated, in ways that have proven both beneficial and durable.

When we speak of commercial disruption today, we usually mean a tech company disrupting a non-tech company. Tinder disrupts singles bars. Netflix disrupts Blockbuster. Airbnb disrupts Marriott.

But the history of "disruption" features far more examples of tech companies disrupting other tech companies: DEC disrupts IBM. Netscape disrupts Microsoft. Google disrupts Yahoo. Nokia disrupts Kodak, sure – but then Apple disrupts Nokia. It's only natural that the businesses most vulnerable to digital disruption are other digital businesses.

And yet…disruption is nowhere to be seen when it comes to the tech sector itself. Five giant companies have been running the show for more than a decade. A couple of these companies (Apple, Microsoft) are Gen-Xers, having been born in the 70s, then there's a couple of Millennials (Amazon, Google), and that one Gen-Z kid (Facebook). Big Tech shows no sign of being disrupted, despite the continuous enshittification of their core products and services. How can this be? Has Big Tech disrupted disruption itself?

That's the contention of "Coopting Disruption," a new paper from two law profs: Mark Lemley (Stanford) and Matthew Wansley (Yeshiva U):

https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4713845

The paper opens with a review of the literature on disruption. Big companies have some major advantages: they've got people and infrastructure they can leverage to bring new products to market more cheaply than startups. They've got existing relationships with suppliers, distributors and customers. People trust them.

Diversified, monopolistic companies are also able to capture "involuntary spillovers": when Google spends money on AI for image recognition, it can improve Google Photos, YouTube, Android, Search, Maps and many other products. A startup with just one product can't capitalize on these spillovers in the same way, so it doesn't have the same incentives to spend big on R&D.

Finally, big companies have access to cheap money. They get better credit terms from lenders, they can float bonds, they can tap the public markets, or just spend their own profits on R&D. They can also afford to take a long view, because they're not tied to VCs whose funds turn over every 5-10 years. Big companies get cheap money, play a long game, pay less to innovate and get more out of innovation.

But those advantages are swamped by the disadvantages of incumbency, all the various curses of bigness. Take Arrow's "replacement effect": new companies that compete with incumbents drive down the incumbents' prices and tempt their customers away. But an incumbent that buys a disruptive new company can just shut it down, and whittle down its ideas to "sustaining innovation" (small improvements to existing products), killing "disruptive innovation" (major changes that make the existing products obsolete).

Arrow's Replacement Effect also comes into play before a new product even exists. An incumbent that allows a rival to do R&D that would eventually disrupt its product is at risk; but if the incumbent buys this pre-product, R&D-heavy startup, it can turn the research to sustaining innovation and defund any disruptive innovation.

Arrow asks us to look at the innovation question from the point of view of the company as a whole. Clayton Christensen's "Innovator's Dilemma" looks at the motivations of individual decision-makers in large, successful companies. These individuals don't want to disrupt their own business, because that will render some part of their own company obsolete (perhaps their own division!). They also don't want to radically change their customers' businesses, because those customers would also face negative effects from disruption.

A startup, by contrast, has no existing successful divisions and no giant customers to safeguard. They have nothing to lose and everything to gain from disruption. Where a large company has no way for individual employees to initiate major changes in corporate strategy, a startup has fewer hops between employees and management. What's more, a startup that rewards an employee's good idea with a stock-grant ties that employee's future finances to the outcome of that idea – while a giant corporation's stock bonuses are only incidentally tied to the ideas of any individual worker.

Big companies are where good ideas go to die. If a big company passes on its employees' cool, disruptive ideas, that's the end of the story for that idea. But even if 100 VCs pass on a startup's cool idea and only one VC funds it, the startup still gets to pursue that idea. In startup land, a good idea gets lots of chances – in a big company, it only gets one.

Given how innately disruptable tech companies are, given how hard it is for big companies to innovate, and given how little innovation we've gotten from Big Tech, how is it that the tech giants haven't been disrupted?

The authors propose a four-step program for the would-be Tech Baron hoping to defend their turf from disruption.

First, gather information about startups that might develop disruptive technologies and steer them away from competing with you, by investing in them or partnering with them.

Second, cut off any would-be competitor's supply of resources they need to develop a disruptive product that challenges your own.

Third, convince the government to pass regulations that big, established companies can comply with but that are business-killing challenges for small competitors.

Finally, buy up any company that resists your steering, succeeds despite your resource war, and escapes the compliance moats of regulation that favors incumbents.

Then: kill those companies.

The authors proceed to show that all four tactics are in play today. Big Tech companies operate their own VC funds, which means they get a look at every promising company in the field, even if they don't want to invest in them. Big Tech companies are also awash in money and their "rival" VCs know it, and so financial VCs and Big Tech collude to fund potential disruptors and then sell them to Big Tech companies as "aqui-hires" that see the disruption neutralized.

On resources, the authors focus on data, and how companies like Facebook have explicit policies of only permitting companies they don't see as potential disruptors to access Facebook data. They reproduce internal Facebook strategy memos that divide potential platform users into "existing competitors, possible future competitors, [or] developers that we have alignment with on business models." These categories allow Facebook to decide which companies are capable of developing disruptive products and which ones aren't. For example, Amazon – which doesn't compete with Facebook – is allowed to access FB data to target shoppers. But Messageme, a startup, was cut off from Facebook as soon as management perceived them as a future rival. Ironically – but unsurprisingly – Facebook spins these policies as pro-privacy, not anti-competitive.

These data policies cast a long shadow. They don't just block existing companies from accessing the data they need to pursue disruptive offerings – they also "send a message" to would-be founders and investors, letting them know that if they try to disrupt a tech giant, they will have their market oxygen cut off before they can draw breath. The only way to build a product that challenges Facebook is as Facebook's partner, under Facebook's direction, with Facebook's veto.

Next, regulation. Starting in 2019, Facebook started publishing full-page newspaper ads calling for regulation. Someone ghost-wrote a Washington Post op-ed under Zuckerberg's byline, arguing the case for more tech regulation. Google, Apple, OpenAI other tech giants have all (selectively) lobbied in favor of many regulations. These rules covered a lot of ground, but they all share a characteristic: complying with them requires huge amounts of money – money that giant tech companies can spare, but potential disruptors lack.

Finally, there's predatory acquisitions. Mark Zuckerberg, working without the benefit of a ghost writer (or in-house counsel to review his statements for actionable intent) has repeatedly confessed to buying companies like Instagram to ensure that they never grow to be competitors. As he told one colleague, "I remember your internal post about how Instagram was our threat and not Google+. You were basically right. The thing about startups though is you can often acquire them.”

All the tech giants are acquisition factories. Every successful Google product, almost without exception, is a product they bought from someone else. By contrast, Google's own internal products typically crash and burn, from G+ to Reader to Google Videos. Apple, meanwhile, buys 90 companies per year – Tim Apple brings home a new company for his shareholders more often than you bring home a bag of groceries for your family. All the Big Tech companies' AI offerings are acquisitions, and Apple has bought more AI companies than any of them.

Big Tech claims to be innovating, but it's really just operationalizing. Any company that threatens to disrupt a tech giant is bought, its products stripped of any really innovative features, and the residue is added to existing products as a "sustaining innovation" – a dot-release feature that has all the innovative disruption of rounding the corners on a new mobile phone.

The authors present three case-studies of tech companies using this four-point strategy to forestall disruption in AI, VR and self-driving cars. I'm not excited about any of these three categories, but it's clear that the tech giants are worried about them, and the authors make a devastating case for these disruptions being disrupted by Big Tech.

What do to about it? If we like (some) disruption, and if Big Tech is enshittifying at speed without facing dethroning-by-disruption, how do we get the dynamism and innovation that gave us the best of tech?

The authors make four suggestions.

First, revive the authorities under existing antitrust law to ban executives from Big Tech companies from serving on the boards of startups. More broadly, kill interlocking boards altogether. Remember, these powers already exist in the lawbooks, so accomplishing this goal means a change in enforcement priorities, not a new act of Congress or rulemaking. What's more, interlocking boards between competing companies are illegal per se, meaning there's no expensive, difficult fact-finding needed to demonstrate that two companies are breaking the law by sharing directors.

Next: create a nondiscrimination policy that requires the largest tech companies that share data with some unaffiliated companies to offer data on the same terms to other companies, except when they are direct competitors. They argue that this rule will keep tech giants from choking off disruptive technologies that make them obsolete (rather than competing with them).

On the subject of regulation and compliance moats, they have less concrete advice. They counsel lawmakers to greet tech giants' demands to be regulated with suspicion, to proceed with caution when they do regulate, and to shape regulation so that it doesn't limit market entry, by keeping in mind the disproportionate burdens regulations put on established giants and small new companies. This is all good advice, but it's more a set of principles than any kind of specific practice, test or procedure.

Finally, they call for increased scrutiny of mergers, including mergers between very large companies and small startups. They argue that existing law (Sec 2 of the Sherman Act and Sec 7 of the Clayton Act) both empower enforcers to block these acquisitions. They admit that the case-law on this is poor, but that just means that enforcers need to start making new case-law.

I like all of these suggestions! We're certainly enjoying a more activist set of regulators, who are more interested in Big Tech, than we've seen in generations.

But they are grossly under-resourced even without giving them additional duties. As Matt Stoller points out, "the DOJ's Antitrust Division has fewer people enforcing anti-monopoly laws in a $24 trillion economy than the Smithsonian Museum has security guards."

https://www.thebignewsletter.com/p/congressional-republicans-to-defund

What's more, Republicans are trying to slash their budgets even further. The American conservative movement has finally located a police force they're eager to defund: the corporate police who defend us all from predatory monopolies.

Charting the Course to SAP HANA Cloud

The push towards SAP HANA cloud shift stems from the need for agility and responsiveness in a dynamic business climate. The cloud promises reduced infrastructure expenses, robust data analytics, and the nimbleness to address changing needs quickly. However, for many companies, transitioning from on-premise SAP HANA to the cloud involves navigating concerns around data security, performance, and potentially relinquishing control of business-critical ERP systems.

SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud: A Tailored Offering

In light of these challenges, SAP presented the SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud (HEC), a private cloud service designed expressly for mission-critical workloads. HEC advertises no compromise on performance, integration, security, failover, or disaster recovery. It spotlights versatility, strong customer support, and end-to-end coverage - from strategic planning to application management. This offering intends to provide the cloud’s agility and innovation under SAP’s direct guidance and expertise.

Actual Delivery of HANA Enterprise Cloud

Despite SAP’s messaging, the HEC’s delivery involves a consortium of third-party providers, including HPE, IBM, CenturyLink, Dimension Data, and Virtustream. SAP collaborates with these partners, who bid on projects often awarded to the lowest bidder, to leverage specialized capabilities while upholding SAP’s standards.

Weighing the Pros and Cons

Partnering with competent vendors ensures clients receive secure, best-practice SAP hosting and support. HEC’s comprehensive solution integrates licensing, infrastructure, and support with touted scalability and integration.

However, several customer challenges emerge. Firstly, leveraging SAP’s brand for cloud hosting and SAP managed services risks diminishing anticipated cost savings. Secondly, the lack of direct engagement with third-party providers raises concerns about entrusting critical ERP operations to unseen partners. This dynamic obscures visibility and control over SAP HANA migration and management.

Furthermore, the absence of a direct relationship between SAP HANA users and cloud suppliers may complicate support, especially for urgent issues warranting rapid response. While SAP’s ecosystem aims to guarantee quality and security, intermediation can hinder the timely resolution of critical situations, affecting system uptime and operations.

SAP HANA Cloud: A Strategic Decision

As SAP systems become increasingly vital, migrating SAP HANA is not simply a technical or operational choice but a strategic one. SAP HANA transcends a database or software suite – it constitutes a competitive advantage that, when optimized, can spur tremendous innovation and success. This migration necessitates meticulous planning, execution, and governance to ensure the transition empowers rather than compromises SAP HANA’s strategic value.

In this context, selecting the ideal cloud model and service providers represents critical decisions. Companies must scrutinize partners beyond cost, evaluating track records, SAP skills, security protocols, and the aptitude to deliver personalized, responsive service.

The Future SAP HANA Cloud Trajectory

As we advance into 2024, the SAP DATA Cloud Analytics landscape continues evolving. Innovations in cloud technology, security, and service creation provide new prospects for migration planning. Firms must stay updated on cloud service advancements, SAP’s strategic direction, and cloud shift best practices to navigate this transition successfully.

To accomplish this, companies should:

Collaborate cross-functionally to align SAP HANA cloud plans with broader business goals and technology roadmaps.

Ensure chosen cloud environments and suppliers meet rigorous data security, privacy, and regulatory standards.

Assess infrastructure ability to support SAP HANA performance requirements and scale amid fluctuating demands.

Institute clear governance and support structures for effective issue resolution throughout and post-migration.

Transitioning SAP HANA to the cloud is complex but ultimately rewarding, unlocking efficiency, agility, and innovation when executed deliberately. By weighing the strategic, operational, and technical dynamics, businesses can drive this migration smoothly, fully capturing SAP HANA’s power to fuel future prosperity.

How to Improve Supplier Management using ERP software in India

Introduction:

In today's highly competitive business landscape, effective supplier management plays a crucial role in the success of manufacturing companies in India. Managing suppliers efficiently can significantly impact the overall productivity, cost-effectiveness, and customer satisfaction of a business. Thankfully, advancements in technology have introduced powerful solutions like Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software, which can revolutionize supplier management. In this blog, we will explore the benefits of utilizing ERP software and how it can enhance supplier management for manufacturing companies in India.

Understanding ERP Software:

ERP software integrates various business processes, including finance, inventory management, production planning, and supplier management, into a centralized system. This integration eliminates silos and provides real-time visibility into every aspect of the supply chain, enabling companies to make informed decisions quickly. ERP software acts as a comprehensive tool to streamline operations, enhance efficiency, and improve collaboration with suppliers.

Benefits of ERP Software for Supplier Management:

Streamlined Procurement Process:

ERP software simplifies the procurement process by automating tasks such as supplier selection, purchase order generation, and tracking. It centralizes supplier information, including contact details, performance metrics, and transaction history, making it easier to manage supplier relationships. This streamlining of procurement activities leads to better communication, reduced errors, and faster response times.

Improved Supplier Performance Monitoring:

By utilizing ERP software, manufacturing companies in India can monitor supplier performance more effectively. Key performance indicators (KPIs) such as delivery time, quality, and compliance can be tracked in real-time. This allows businesses to identify underperforming suppliers and take necessary actions, such as renegotiating contracts or seeking alternative options. Timely identification of issues ensures smoother operations and enhances customer satisfaction.

Enhanced Inventory Management:

ERP software provides accurate inventory tracking and forecasting capabilities, enabling companies to maintain optimal inventory levels. By integrating supplier data, businesses can automate replenishment processes, reducing stock-outs and excess inventory. Additionally, ERP software helps in analyzing supplier lead times and identifying potential delays, minimizing production disruptions and ensuring timely deliveries.

Efficient Communication and Collaboration:

Successful supplier management relies on seamless communication and collaboration between manufacturers and suppliers. ERP software facilitates efficient communication channels, enabling secure and real-time information exchange. It offers features like automated notifications, instant messaging, and document sharing, fostering transparency and improving collaboration with suppliers. This streamlined communication ensures that all parties are aligned, reducing misunderstandings and delays.

Choosing the Right ERP Software Provider in India:

When considering ERP software for supplier management, it is essential to select a reliable and experienced provider. Several ERP software providers in India cater specifically to the needs of manufacturing companies. Some popular options include SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, and Tally ERP. Before finalizing a provider, businesses should evaluate their requirements, budget, scalability, and support services to ensure a seamless implementation and ongoing assistance.

Conclusion:

In the fast-paced manufacturing industry of India, effective supplier management is a key differentiator for success. Leveraging ERP software can significantly enhance supplier management processes, optimizing procurement, improving supplier performance monitoring, and fostering collaboration. By implementing an appropriate ERP solution from reliable providers in India, manufacturing companies can streamline operations, reduce costs, and gain a competitive edge in the market.

Remember, ERP software is not a one-size-fits-all solution. It is crucial to conduct a thorough evaluation of your company's requirements and choose the ERP system that best aligns with your specific business needs. With the right ERP software in place, manufacturing companies in India can unlock new levels of efficiency, profitability, and growth in their supplier management processes.

Long gone are the days when I didn’t research my favorite celebrities. One such favorite was Emma Watson, who was announced as the new muse and ambassador for Prada on August 18th, after asking on their Instagram stories ‘’who is she?’’ as if we didn’t see her the last 20 years, she is not a newbie.

My first thought was ‘’wait, Prada was rated by Goodonyouapp as Not Good Enough, so the perfume must be shady as well’’ and I was right. Prada’s fragrances are not cruelty-free, not even the latest release called Paradoxe, as in they could be tested on animals such as bunnies whether directly by the brand or indirectly by suppliers or third-party, they even sell in mainland China, where such tests are still required by law.

Emma Watson and Prada wanted to come across as sustainable in the new behind the scenes video. Yet, only the 100ml bottle of the perfume is refillable. Ethically all available 30 and 50ml bottles should also be refillable in Prada stores. They failed to explain what exactly is sustainable about Emma’s self-image campaign advert, which barely featured the perfume(Paradoxe) she was expected to sell/promote.

Three photos of Emma leaked already, which is surprising to me, even the behind the scenes video was not posted by official accounts which showed lack of professionalism handling the campaign. Emma Watson did fire her Prosper PR team after she received backlash over black squares posted on her Instagram account. She must have thought she has the last word when she posted black squares recently, on the same Instagram account.

All so called luxury brands want to be perceived as sophisticated, expensive, yet testing on animals is an unnecessary practice, they could have easily said a firm ‘’NO’’ to selling their products where such practices are still required, but one can guess business and profits are above the ‘’do not harm’’ principle. If they wanted to be sustainable they would have taken action in that direction. This is another example of greenwashing enabled by celebrity hype. Is it really luxury if animals are slaughtered for a perfume?

Emma herself is not an (eco)activist as she flew during the pandemic for leisure, feminist(slut-shamed women at 17 and was named in the Panama Papers with an off-shore company among many other unethical things) or anything close to sustainable(she is mostly papped shopping for fast fashion for which there’s plenty of photographic evidence, never for a book, music or art supplies).

I wonder what happened to ”we have so much power to change the world just by being careful in what we buy”(February 2019 on Goodonyou) and ”I have committed to only purchasing and wearing brands that are rated ‘It’s A Start’ or above, as I want to be able to support brands moving in the right direction.”(Vogue UK 2020) as most of her sartorial choices were rated Not Good Enough by the same company she endorsed(search a brand here).

Lack of a PR team means that news of her relationship with Brandon Green(son of Arcadia Group owner P. Green) overshadowed the news of her Prada collaboration, this relationship alone shows where her priorities are. A paradox – so the name of the fragrance fits Emma like a glove. She even has a diva reputation for being rude, dismissive to fans as young as 6 years old, to journalists since she was 11, to everyone from film crews, film extras, restaurant and festival staff to her own drivers to whom she had a tendency to yell at, a snob in public(from people who met her in Oxford, Headington School, Oxford Uni, Brown Uni, HP premieres, out and about etc.).

She clearly chose prestige and money over values. The Female Lead was right to advise young people to choose a role model carefully because Emma is clearly the opposite of one. Her image was built by her former PR teams and perpetuated by the media(which we know is an illusion). I’m not falling for greenwashing enabled by celebrity hype anymore. Thanks to the internet for enabling me to get better informed!

---

Okay, serious question: Does this person read Sam or my blog? Or do they just do their own research, because everything this person says has been mentioned on this blog.

They're being pretty harsh, but they're not exactly wrong. They're right in saying that the ad focused more on her than on the perfume. And then there's the fact that the perfume isn't cruelty free! The bottle being refillable doesn't really seem that great after learning this.

And is it true that the 30ml and 50ml bottles can't be refilled? I just thought that people could just buy the 100ml bottle and fill them gradually.

Note

this early contact rumour for a mchonda reunion is very interesting.

it's all very early stages but it's good to know that the new management at the head of both parties are open to collaboration.

the intriguing part to me (while not mentioned in the article) is how james key is now the head technical guy at mcl, and the fact that key was absolutely vital in getting honda back on the right track with alphatauri/toro rosso.

if that key-honda relationship is still there (which was supposedly very good), it might be something to get a tiny bit excited about ... !

It’s a long way off, but there is a part of me that would kill for McLaren team works engine deal.

Although the McHonda days were a time to say the least, so if it does happen, I hope it’s not a repeat of that

In general, I would love just to see Honda stick around as an engine supplier; purely so that there’s more variety of engine manufacturers on the grid

Achieving Cost Savings through Supplier Collaboration in Siemens Teamcenter PLM Software

In the dynamic landscape of modern business, collaboration is the cornerstone of success. This holds true not only within an organization but also across the entire supply chain. Suppliers play a pivotal role in the journey from concept to creation, and their collaboration can yield significant cost savings and operational efficiencies. Teamcenter PLM's supplier collaboration features are transforming the way organizations interact with suppliers, leading to negotiated cost savings, improved procurement processes, and enhanced cost control. In this article, we delve into how Teamcenter PLM is fostering this collaborative spirit, backed by real-world examples.

A New Paradigm in Supplier Collaboration

Gone are the days of transactional relationships between organizations and suppliers. The modern approach is based on collaboration, where suppliers are viewed as strategic partners integral to the success of a project. Siemens PLM Software, with its comprehensive suite of supplier collaboration tools, empowers organizations to seamlessly integrate suppliers into their product development processes.

Negotiated Cost Savings: A Win-Win Scenario

Supplier collaboration in Teamcenter PLM opens the door to negotiated cost savings. When suppliers are brought into the design phase, they can offer valuable insights into cost-effective materials, manufacturing processes, and alternative components. By tapping into their expertise, organizations can optimize designs for cost efficiency without compromising on quality. For instance, a manufacturer collaborating with a supplier might identify a more cost-effective yet equally durable material for a component, resulting in substantial cost savings over the product's lifecycle.

Improved Procurement Processes: Streamlining Efficiency

Procurement is a critical component of the supply chain, and any inefficiencies can lead to increased costs. Teamcenter PLM's Cost Management Software supplier collaboration features streamline procurement processes by providing real-time visibility into supplier capabilities, capacities, and lead times. This enables organizations to make informed decisions about sourcing, reducing the risk of delays and costly last-minute changes. For instance, a company collaborating with a supplier can receive updates on raw material availability, helping them plan their production schedule and avoid costly supply shortages.

Enhanced Cost Control: Data-Driven Insights

Effective cost control requires accurate and up-to-date information. Teamcenter PLM's supplier collaboration features enable organizations to access real-time cost data from suppliers. This transparency empowers procurement teams to make strategic decisions based on actual costs rather than estimates. Furthermore, collaboration with suppliers can help organizations identify cost drivers and areas where cost reductions can be implemented. For instance, a company working closely with a supplier might discover opportunities to consolidate shipments, reducing transportation costs.

Real-World Examples of Success

Real-world examples illustrate the power of supplier collaboration in achieving cost savings. Consider a consumer electronics company partnering with a supplier to design a new smartphone. By collaborating closely, they identify a more cost-effective battery design that doesn't compromise on performance. This leads to reduced manufacturing costs and a competitive edge in the market.

In the automotive industry, a car manufacturer collaborates with a supplier of advanced materials. Together, they explore innovative materials that are not only lightweight but also cost-efficient. This collaboration results in cost savings due to reduced material consumption and improved fuel efficiency in the final product.

Conclusion: Empowering Future Success

Supplier collaboration through Teamcenter PLM software transcends traditional boundaries. It's a strategy that fosters innovation, efficiency, and cost savings. By involving suppliers early in the product development process, organizations can tap into their expertise, optimize designs, and make informed decisions that positively impact the bottom line. As the business landscape continues to evolve, organizations that embrace supplier collaboration are not only achieving cost savings but also laying the foundation for future success and growth.
