What Is Information Management Agility?

Oracle vs. SAP for procurement: Supplier Information Management

Analysis is good. Governance is groovy. But agility means action. Agility implies both the capacity and capability to act. Now. Immediately. Real-time. That doesn't mean the enterprise has to instantaneously act or react only that it has the power to do so. Schrage is not speaking ofagilityin terms of information management specifically, but what he says makes sense just the same: if information is our key asset, how can business software we use it to support our employees in making the right decisions?

Regardless of whether a company is running a consolidated Oracle back-end or a complicated, heterogeneous systems environment based on multiple ERPs, versions and instances, Oracle Supplier Hub can push and pull data in real-time from multiple systems. Supplier Hub can consolidate information from dozens of internal and potentially external source systems (and third-party enrichment data), create master-level supplier classification and mapping relationships, access cross-system information, synchronize and publish data, and apply data stewardship and governance approaches across hierarchies, tasks and overall classification.
