IoT Devices Becoming More Common Hosts for Hijacked Data, Researchers Say

The vision of the so-called internet of things - giving all sorts of physical things a digital makeover - has been years ahead of reality. But that gap is closing fast, according to Gartner, a research firm. Today, the range of things being computerized and connected to networks is stunning, from watches, appliances and clothing to cars, jet engines and factory equipment.

Implementing Fully Integrated EDI for Supply Chain Efficiency

In today's world of web-based ordering, consumers expect the right products to be available all the time, delivered quickly, and for status updates to be provided at every stage of the process until the product is received. This places very high expectations on wholesalers, suppliers, distributors and retailers alike to ensure they are able to meet this demand, and they have little margin for errors and delays. The manual processes businesses have historically relied on make them vulnerable to the factors that contribute to these shortcomings and can negatively affect production, margins, reputation, scorecard performance and, ultimately, the bottom line.
