SAP America will host a webcast panel discussion on June 14 on the topic of managing information-technology maturity for transportation and logistics service providers (LSPs). The event will examine how LSPs can achieve business-wide visibility, cost control and technology integration through IT. "Globalization, outsourcing and shrinking cycle times are adding risk, cost and complexity to transportation operations," said Adrian Gonzalez, director of the Logistics Executive Council of ARC Advisory Group, and a member of the webcast panel. "Companies that take an end-to-end, process-centric perspective will achieve greater financial and operational success." Other panel members include Rodney Strata, industry principal, logistics and transportation industries, SAP America; and J.P. Wiggins, director for industry solutions marketing, travel and transportation, SAP Labs. The moderator will be Jean Murphy, editorial director of Global Logistics & Supply Chain Strategies magazine.
