Software as a Service 3.0

Innovative Networks to Manage
Multi-Enterprise Processes

The third generation of Software as a Service supports the fundamental changes to operating models and business practices being deployed by businesses and governments alike with an equally fundamental change to the supporting IT systems. The core issue driving this next-generation of systems is the fragmentation of business processes across a wide array of trading partners, customers, internal departments and regulatory agencies. While prior technological advancements focused on improving collaboration between two companies (such as a retailer and a single customer or a manufacturer and a single supplier), Software as a Service 3.0 manages the entire end-to-end process across every participating organization. In today’s global economy, “multi-enterprise” means more than two organizations and dictates a requirement for innovative, next-generation technology.

Software as a Service 3.0 is that innovation. Advancements in software infrastructure and business application design, coupled with a robust global network, provide a powerful platform to manage critical functions from the origin of supply to the point of consumption as a single global process with a single global IT network. The use of a global network to unite trading communities is the foundation of Software as a Service 3.0 as networks migrate from pipes that move data to become the backbone of process management.
