Editor’s Note: With the focus of the upcoming Point-Counterpoint segment on winning business versus successful implementations, revisiting my post on the Ford AutoXchange seems appropriate.
Similar to GM’s TradeXchange, Ford’s version of an “an automotive ebusiness integrated supply chain” was launched with great fanfare.
Unfortunately, and like so many other similar-type initiatives, the Oracle-based platform crashed and burned.
This raises the question . . . why does the market herald contract wins, while ultimately ignoring the pile-up of failures?
Thursday’s segment with Buyers Meeting Point’s Kelly Barner should be very interesting.
