Reaching out to company officials scratching their heads over which e-business strategy to implement, SAP AG, of Walldorf, Germany, this month announced an assessment tool called mySAP SCM Value Calculator.
Through a Web interface, users submit data to determine basic information—company name, annual revenue and so on—and current e-business practices. Once issues such as “current level of integration” and “current supply chain planning process” are dealt with, Value Calculator analyzes data and maps a users enterprise into one of four Stages of Excellence, each of which represents a stage of a companys supply chain integration.
