Times are tough and changing, but manufacturers still have to securely transfer information

Manufacturers face increasing complexity and uncertainty in their supply chains, which translates to increased business risk. From local supplier and local trade to global suppliers and global trade – the manufacturer collaboration network has grown and become more diverse and global. The reality is that manufacturing will always be about an entire network of highly distributed players, from those who design the products, to those who make some or all of the entire portfolio of products, to those who distribute and sell the end product.

• Competitive advantages will go to those who are most efficient in managing ever-changing, complex business networks.
• To keep driving costs out of product and to support services mandates frequent business changes such as from outsourcing and near-sourcing to mergers and acquisitions. Each change automatically changes the activities and/or partners involved in the greater business network.
• Transaction flow doesn’t wait while an outsourced function gets up to speed or an acquired enterprise revises its operations to fit smoothly into the new alignment.
• Transfers of intellectual property and proprietary or otherwise sensitive data must be specifically planned for and continuously monitored and maintained. Varying types of data are included, from CAD/CAM files, to customer IPs, to research and exploration data. This means it’s impossible to define a single file type that can be handled via a separate secure connection.
