3 We have entered the age of the empowered customer Customers now have unlimited access to information and can instantly share it with the world Social networking and mobile commerce have dramatically changed the dynamic between buyer and seller Customer expectations of service, price and delivery are soaring This is changing the entire way products are sourced, manufactured and distributed and making business more complex than ever 250 million Number of tweets sent via Twitter each day 75% Percentage of people who believe companies don t tell the truth in advertisements $93 billion Amount in sales missed due to out of stock inventory 3 Sources:, Techcrunch Oct 2011, Yankelovich, Evolution of Advertising and Media, 5 th Annual Store Systems Study, IHL Group and RIS News, 2008

4 These disruptive forces ripple from the customer through the enterprise and across entire industries Individuals The connected consumer The networked workforce The empowered citizen The consumer is using new channels to perceive value, and associated pricing implications. Consumer Products CEO, United States Enterprises Evolved business models Optimized digital operations Connected enterprise Industries Value migration Value chain redefinition Fragmentation Profits will shift away from analog distribution to digital distribution; we will see increased margins in digital distribution and increased international distribution. Media and Entertainment CEO, United States Disintermediation of clients by smaller niche players (such as mobile players) is cause for concern. Financial Markets CEO, Canada 4 Source: IBV Analysis

5 Power has shifted compressing margins and changing paradigms In this new era, businesses need to: Understand and predict customer behavior and needs based on customer insights across all channels Synchronize interactions across the value chain needed to deliver their product or service Service customers flawlessly, predict and drive customer loyalty Adapt sourcing and procurement based on customer demand Market, sell and fulfill the right product and service at the right price, time and place 5

6 We call the path forward Smarter Commerce Places the customer at the center Maximizes insight Capitalizes on social and mobile Drives growth Synchronizes your entire value chain Increases margins Improves collaboration and visibility 6

7 Agenda What is Smarter Commerce? What is the role of B2B integration? What is MFT? Problems with current approaches IBM solution 7

8 Market Insight Customer experience Smarter Commerce helps you create a brand promise

9 and a synchronized value chain to fulfill the promise

10 While Smarter Commerce starts with customer insight, execution depends on synchronization of your value chain Systems/technology The commerce systems that drive buy-market-sellservice must better integrate with partners 68% of executives report that integration challenges impede collaborative relationships with partners Processes Demand and supply need better interlocks to deliver the right product/service $93 billion in sales missed due to out of stock inventory per year People Actionable visibility is needed to better respond to the customer 70% of supply chain officers say that lack of visibility has a significant impact on supply chains 10

11 Achieving value chain synchronization requires Connectivity regardless of protocol, format or standard Automation of inefficient, error prone, manual business processes Security, governance and control over all exchanges Simplified business community enablement and management Real time visibility into information exchanges

12 To produce some significant outcomes Reduce the time-to-benefit from new customers, suppliers and partners Reduce security exposure from data exchange Remove latency and cost from the value chain Become easier to do business with Speeding resolution of issues and increase customer satisfaction 12

13 IBM B2B Integration delivers the solutions to synchronize your extended business community B2B integration addresses complex integration challenges to synchronize the value chain of partners, suppliers and customers Managed File Transfer Integration Services Integration Gateways Transformation Engines Secure, reliable file transfer connects systems Flexible cloud technologies and expert services host business communities Orchestration and automation for key partner processes Single, universal engine for all internal and external file and message transformation needs The IBM difference Secure protocol has never been breached Global network of 300,000 pre-connected trading entities Unmatched scalability/ performance to solve the most complex scenarios Leader in transformation capabilities across EDI and Industry standards 13

15 File Transfer is very similar to the package delivery business Size Timeframe Cost Logistics How I decide to move the package depends on many things including what is in the box

16 Managed File Transfer (MFT) matters because of what is in the box System-centric Originator/Destination Retailer to third party processor Payload Credit card transactions Community-centric Person-centric Manufacturer to suppliers Corporate customers to banks Individual users collaborating with inside/outside individuals Orders, Forecast, Design Payments, lockbox, treasury Legal briefs, marketing proofs, customer lists, support logs 55% of system integrations (both internal & external) are accomplished via files Source: Synchronize the Value Chain Research Study, Vanson Bourne, February

17 In every organization file transfers support key Processes Supply chain synchronization Credit card clearing Projects SAP integration with web store front Outsourcing payroll Policies Certification of application interfaces governed by SOX Polices PCI compliance for securing credit card data... People interactions Design documents with outside agencies Legal briefs with outside council 17

19 Today most people are using FTP which has issues Security Username/password in the clear Operating System level credentials FTP servers at risk in DMZ Numerous security vulnerabilities Add-on required for encryption (SSH) Reliability Documented error rates at 6.47% average Add-on required for checkpoint restart Visibility Troubleshooting is searching through log files No central management requires manually touching every server Automation Requires manual scripting for things like; End-of-file check, watch directory, zipping SSH only addresses

20 And the case for remediating FTP remains compelling 6.47% In the context of transfers that use the FTP protocol, what percentage would you estimate do not complete successfully? (average response) 28 min. What do you estimate is the average time it takes to troubleshoot and resolve an FTP file transfer error? (average response) Total # FTP Transfers X % X min. = $$$ Vanson Bourne B2B Integration and MFT Global Study for IBM.
