2 A Simple BUT VERY YPowerful Idea Winning Companies Will Operate as Networks In the future, the best companies won t act as single organizations, unconnected from one another, but as interconnected, agile business networks that operate far more efficiently and respond far more quickly than the companies we know today. These companies will be the new leaders in the global economy. And they ll do it on the strength of their information systems. 2 Cloud : More than Just Good IT Economics The ERP and business software systems companies have been buying for the past thirty-five years were designed to do, essentially, one thing: automate the processes within a single enterprise. They weren t designed to automate the processes across constellations of companies working together as global trading communities. Cloud changes everything. The superior economics of cloud computing are already abundantly clear. When it comes to supply chain, cloud goes a step further by enabling entirely new information sharing models that simply were not possible using traditional license and install software. The supply chain is not a chain it s a network. And business networks must be flexible and global. Cloud gives companies the power to take their operations to the next level. We re GT Nexus At GT Nexus, we built a company around a simple but very powerful idea: put a single cloud-based collaboration platform at the center of a huge and enormously inefficient market global commerce and trade to give companies a rapid, low-cost path to achieving breakthrough business agility and performance. GT Nexus is the industry-wide collaboration platform that leaders from nearly every sector rely on to automate sourcing, trade finance and logistics operations across their global partner networks. For these companies and their trading partners, GT Nexus is where global trade happens. GT Nexus Corporate Overview

6 More THAN JUST Software Applications A Different Kind of Platform chain success is dependent upon inter-company collaboration across business networks that span the globe. Traditional tools are insufficient. An entirely new technology approach is required. One that harnesses the power of the Internet to connect and communicate across company boundaries quickly. One that can model complex business relationships and commerce rules among trading companies and their service providers. THE PLATFORM At GT Nexus we combined three critical and inter-locking technology components into a single unified cloud platform. 6 COMMUNITY A robust global community of companies, including category leaders from every major industry vertical APPLICATIONS A suite of business applications that fuse financial and physical supply chain processes CLOUD PLATFORM A network platform that models the relationships between companies and electronically connects partner systems The Community No technology platform, by itself, is enough to deliver breakthrough results. A platform also needs a community. It s taken GT Nexus over a decade to reach a network density of logistics service providers, suppliers, trading partners and financial institutions that can radically change the economics of enabling an electronic trading community. Thousands of companies, including category leaders in every major vertical, are on GT Nexus today. Collectively, the community manages more than $100 billion worth of goods on the platform each year.
