Supply Chain Assurance

Published on February 25, 2022

Today, we'll talk about Supply Chains and how well or poorly organisations are doing in terms of supply chain assurance. Join Mike Gillespie and Ellie Hurst for a discussion on Supply Chain Assurance as attacks continue in 2022. Business these days is an interconnected experience; supply chains are no longer linear but are complex and convoluted, more like a business ecosystem. Information is the lifeblood of this model. Allowing another company to access, store or otherwise manage your valuable data, is one of the biggest risks any organisation can take. For instance, outsourcing technical services to a third party (like software), or business processes (like payroll or customer management) are increasingly available and popular, as the benefit to business can be transformational. 💡 Learn more about how we can help your business here: https://www.advent-im.co.uk/ 🔥 DON'T FORGET to listen to our latest podcast here: https://www.advent-im.co.uk/media/podcasts/ ❤️ Enjoyed this video?
