Why the
Network of Networks?
Increasingly companies are evaluating business network
solutions to close the gap on inter-enterprise visibility;
but as they work on the problem, they find that they need
to somehow interconnect business networks. The gaps are
large. The solutions to close the gaps are not so easy.

Data Types

Cindi and Rafal Use Cases

• Redefine Time. Not all data needs to fly first class. While many companies speak to us about the need for
real-time data, we believe that data needs to move at the "right timing." Some data needs to move quickly
and with high velocity using streaming data architectures, while other data sources can move in batch
processes.
• Embrace Glass Boxes. While traditional processes are powered by black boxes, the principle is to build
the network of networks using glass boxes. With a glass box the math is visible to the super-user. The goal
is to let the math engines do the work and not touch data.
• Test/Tune and Then Embrace Analytics. However, to evolve the network of networks, companies need to
test and tune the analytics and then use them. What we often see is companies approaching the
implementation of analytics as a technology project and missing the stages to test and tune.
• Digitize Relationships. Map Policies and Flows. The first step is onboarding and digitizing relationships.
In this process, gain clarity of contract requirements and policy guidelines and try to incorporate them into
the flows.
• Focus on What You Are Good At. Not all technology solutions are good at the same thing. The business
users asked for the technology providers to be clearer on what they are good at and improve effective
interoperability between solutions. While partnerships have not worked in the past, the question on the
table is "Could we build new forms of interoperability using unstructured data on Hadoop, and map data
using ontologies and indexing technologies.
• Focus Outside-in. The goal is to move data outside-in and define new processes. The gluing together of
existing processes is not sufficient.
• Externalize Data. If companies open up and externalize data in a meaningful way we could pave the way
for online benchmarking, demand sensing, and event management in new ways.
• Takes Responsibility for Your Network. To make this work companies need to have a process owner to
design the network with a focus on the roles of parties in the network, buffers, and policies.
• Open Standards. Pub/sub/keys. If the vendors could publish using open architecture principles, the
barriers would be less.
• Build Bidirectional Flows with an Inter-Enterprise System of Record. Just as ERP is the system of
record for the enterprise, there needs to be an inter-enterprise system of record.
Principles

The Next Session of Network of Networks
“Network of Networks” Spark Series
Who: Manufacturers, Retailers, &
Distributors plus select Technology
Providers
What: Bringing supply chain Manufacturers,
Retailers, and Distributors together with
Technology Providers to spark a
conversation about the possible use of
new technology to build the “network of
networks” – in other words, the
interoperability between established
networks.
