The Missing Link: Blockchain for Digital Supply Chains

January 18, 2021 TIBCO Spotfire

Reading Time: 4 minutes

A new operational backbone: the digital supply chain

As our business frameworks and structures have evolved to become predominantly data-driven digital entities, a new electronic backbone of partners, suppliers, and industry associates has crystallized and become the new substrate for all operational functions. That new foundational fabric has a name; we call it the digital supply chain.

Composed of logically aligned collections of people, processes, products, and places, the digital supply chain also includes new artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) functions for predictive intelligence and a number of virtual “employees” in the form of digital twins. Where we used to define digital twins solely in the context of machines in the Internet of Things (IoT), we can now establish digital versions of human workflow procedures, entire teams, complete departments, and whole companies.

The foundational fabric: blockchain

But as digital twins are employed, deployed, and (mostly) enjoyed as valuable members of the new digital supply chain, we must think about a system of control to ensure that we know what functions they are performing and the results of their simulation calculations. That foundational fabric also has a name and you’ve already heard of it; we call it blockchain.

Using blockchain allows us to track and support a live, parallel digital twin deployment. Blockchain may be utilized to store key milestones or states in the lifecycle of a digital twin, and be augmented with a high-speed cache or state store to facilitate access to live, rapidly-changing operational data that doesn’t fit into blockchain storage structures.

With data potentially cryptographically linked to the blockchain distributed ledger, this additional event-driven state store typically captures the current or real-time status of the digital twin (e.g. as a passenger is checked into their flight or as a shipment is loaded on a truck) and any uncorrelated events or transactions. It may also be queried by external tools to obtain the latest image or snapshot of the digital twin. As digital twins expire or become stale, data is typically flushed from this state store and moved to other analytical stores or data lakes, forming the basis for a complete, end-to-end contextual view of the twin.

A decentralized tamper-resistant store

Blockchains store data in a tamper-resistant, distributed, and “append-only” storage layer that is cryptographically derived and shared. Adding transactions to this ledger typically involves reaching agreement on the validity of the transaction between multiple blockchain network participants. In concept, if not practice, members of a digital supply chain should be able to agree on the validity of transactions in a relatively fluid manner. The cryptographic “chaining” of the data makes it difficult to change the transaction once it has been added to the ledger.

Without providing a re-analysis of how blockchain has evolved and how both public permissionless and private permissioned blockchains are implemented (there is plenty to read on this across the web), let’s look at the use of permissioned enterprise blockchains with regard to digital twins in the supply chain.

For digital twins that span multiple organizations, data or transactions must be shared in a trusted, secure fashion between multiple known parties, have a degree of needed business logic transparency, and have a shared, decentralized, tamper-resistant store. To meet these needs, blockchain can act as an additional layer to a parallel or multiple digital twin deployment. A tamper-resistant store is key, especially in environments where mission-critical or life-critical operations depend upon it—like many digital twin supply chain functions.

This type of functionality can be useful when deploying digital twins that need to securely store and share key states or checkpoints between multiple parties (e.g. product delivery milestones across a supply chain), meet regulatory compliance requirements, reduce the chances of fraud, or record key decisions being made by various actors, including AI/ML models, in a complex system.

Smart transactions, smart contracts

There’s a lot of talk surrounding digital business and arguably too much generic showboating surrounding the development of so-called digital transformation initiatives. Putting some meat on the bones of these new platform advancements requires us to define exactly where we will be deploying new software code. In the context of this discussion, that deployment surface is smart contracts, i.e. the business logic or code that runs within a blockchain network to define the parameters and logic of the transactions that can take place.

There are many definitions and descriptions of smart contracts and each blockchain framework that supports this capability tends to implement it differently. As applications in their own right, smart contracts are used to automate the execution of business logic against transactions, validate that a transaction should be written to the ledger, and write to the ledger in a way that supports transparency and trust. Again, for digital twins that are operating in parallel to distributed or complex systems, the ability to distribute business logic in a transparent and secure manner can prove beneficial.

Benefits of blockchain for supply chain management

We’ve moved beyond what we used to call Business-to-Business (B2B) operations at this point and entered a space where digital twins are transacting with each other autonomously and automatically inside the digital supply chain. Of course, the trade off of moving to this new tier is additional complexity. So, this consideration must be weighed against the obtained benefits in any firm’s own personal cost-benefit analysis.

The ability of blockchain to track digital twins with a high degree of transparency and traceability can also help with future legal requirements, especially when it comes to the import of raw materials. As an example from several years ago, the U.S. obliged its publicly listed companies to fully document their supply chain for tantalum, tungsten and tin, related ores, and gold. Soon afterward, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) issued guidelines on the due diligence of companies with regard to supply chains of minerals from conflict and high-risk areas.

Prepare for the future of blockchain with digital twins

Future considerations for the use of blockchain with digital twins include the creation of common marketplaces and representing shared assets as tokens for fractional ownership and sharing purposes. As digital twins become more complex and as network complexities increase, it is possible that blockchain will (in some form) become a more prevalent component of a digital twin runtime architecture.

Blockchain-backed digital twins can be complex to develop and execute, but the right tools make it far easier. Read this paper to learn more about use cases and applications for digital twins, key technology foundations, blockchain as an enabler, and more.

There’s arguably too much generic showboating surrounding the development of so-called digital transformation initiatives. Putting some meat on the bones of these advancements requires us to define exactly where we will be deploying new code. Click To Tweet

Why Digital Transformation Is Essential to Improve Business Outcomes

November 14, 2020 CRM News and Info

Peak commercial performance — it’s what all organizations strive to reach. At the most baseline level, we’re talking about sustained, profitable growth. But while talking about it seems easy enough, actually getting there is another story.

Businesses that have cracked the code adapted to meet the evolving needs of the customer in spite of the increasing complexity of an ever-changing economy.

Doing so successfully requires them to find ways to accelerate revenue and manage key relationships, while tackling the complexity that threatens to slow them down.

The Keys to Digital Transformation

If you look at who’s winning in the market, it’s the companies that not only embraced digital transformation early, but also made it a core building block of their foundation moving forward.

So, what does it take to win today? The most successful companies have five key things in common:

1. Analyzing top-down to know where to start a digital transformation journey.

Before a company can even think about the technology it is looking to implement, it must first analyze the business as a whole and the objectives it is trying to achieve.

It is important to fully understand “who” the company is today, and how it has changed over time or under the current circumstances. Once companies understand this, they are in a better position to reshape business architectures in a way that best aligns with business goals.

Another option is to work with a third-party vendor to perform an audit of the company. This will help to get an unbiased view on where a company can improve. A vendor would also be able to provide industry best practices on what similar businesses have done to become more efficient.

2. Securing buy-in from all teams, especially company leaders.

Cultural transformation is the key to digital transformation success. One of the biggest challenges companies face when implementing new digital strategies is ensuring all team members are on board. This can be done through strong and clear internal communication. Outlining clear key performance indicators that will help show benefits such as increased sales effectiveness, customer satisfaction, and revenue, will help everyone involved understand why changes must be made.

When company leaders are on board, they can help act as advocates for projects and initiatives, while encouraging and rewarding agility amongst the rest of the teams involved. It is also crucial to provide training on any new technologies prior to implementation, while continuing to support and tend to any questions, and troubleshooting as new strategies are being rolled out.

3. Meeting customers wherever they are in their digital transformation journey.

The popular adage ‘patience is a virtue’ doesn’t apply when achieving peak commercial performance is the end goal. Doing business gets harder every day because the ever-increasing complexities of a changing economy causes friction between companies and their customers.

Victory goes to those who are impatient and challenging the status quo with new business models that leverage digital transformation for speed. Those who can remove that friction are performing disproportionately well, even in the unpredictable times we are in today.

The secret to removing friction is meeting customers wherever they are in their digital transformation journey. This applies to businesses of all types across various industries — from small retailers trying to bridge the technological gap with their older buyers, to large manufacturers that want to simplify complex purchase and fulfillment processes.

Winning businesses are transforming the way customers do this by meeting them where they are on the journey and enabling them to provide an enjoyable and frictionless customer experience.

4. Making customers business-agile so they can move at the speed of their customers.

Another key component of digital transformation is the ability to move at the speed of the customer. Businesses that get it right invest in ways that will get the customer from Point A to Point B as quickly and painlessly as possible. This requires an understanding that it’s less about features and functions and more about removing screens, clicks, and other bottlenecks.

For example, consider Door Dash’s success over the past six months. While the food delivery service was doing well prior to COVID-19, it’s been doing even better during shelter-in-place and quarantine. Door Dash understood the points of friction in their customer’s journey and implemented things like touchless payment and contactless pickup.

Today, the volume of its pickup business is growing by double digits as a result of removing friction and enabling customers to pay for and receive their meals sooner. Success requires moving faster to meet customer needs today while simultaneously increasing agility to prepare for an uncertain tomorrow.

5. Providing customers with resources for an all-digital, work-from-anywhere world.

Remaining agile in a dynamic market requires the ability to go fast in a straight line while also navigating around corners with confidence. This is especially important as companies grow and dodge inevitable curve balls during their digital transformation efforts.

For example, today we must provide customers with the resources they need to succeed in an all-digital, work-from-anywhere world. Because let’s face it, even when the pandemic is under control, the return to the office will never look like what it used to. Businesses that invest in ways to help customers tackle complexity with confidence add capabilities under the hood to make features and functions faster, more dependable, and scalable.

Conclusion

High-performing businesses reach peak commercial performance by reducing friction in customer interactions in the face of a market with increasing complexity. Those who can meet their customers at any point on their digital transformation journey to help them move at the speed of their customers in an all-digital, work-from-anywhere world, are set up for success today and well into an uncertain tomorrow.

Is Your Business Ready for a Digital Twin?

October 23, 2020 TIBCO Spotfire

Reading Time: 3 minutes

The idea of simulation and modeling has been around for a long time. But, the rise in the use of advanced analytics and the Internet of Things (IoT) today have evolved this into the concept of the digital twin. It’s the idea of having a virtual digital model of a physical system that is used to make better decisions about the real world physical system. Digital twins are usually intertwined with sensors and include a two-way interaction between the physical and digital twin. While it’s one of the hottest concepts in technology, is your business really ready to take advantage of one?

Digital twins are utilized in three main ways:

To prototype and iteratively test and design what the product could be before it’s produced in addition to design optimization
To monitor the performance of the physical asset and intervene in the operation if needed
To collect data off of a fleet of a particular type of product or asset (called aggregate twins) and create an approximation of those devices, which could support things like predictive maintenance

Digital twins can range from being pretty simple asset twins to increasingly sophisticated and ambitious twins. They are used across various industries for a number of different use cases. In healthcare, a patient digital twin is used to monitor how a patient could respond to different treatments, and if intervention is needed. More sophisticated twins are being used to model cities, taking into account traffic, transit, power consumption, and pollution.

While it sounds great, implementing one isn’t always straightforward. There are a number of elements to consider: What is the problem and is a digital twin a fit? Is it sustainable? Is it an expensive version of what could be a report? Is it real-time? The bottom line is that you need to start with a sound business case that looks at the value of having a digital twin—typically driven by the use case.

In the case of Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One, the use case is pretty straightforward: create a simulation that mimics the real track experience and acts as a digital twin to maximize the benefits of limited on-track testing time. The purpose of the simulator is to help the team set up the car to run faster, to rapidly advance car development, and to increase the team’s ability and speed to fine-tune advancements during the season. It is also used to find out where the team needs to improve, where its competition is the strongest, where the team has weaknesses, and the performance areas to advance. Additionally, an F1 simulator also provides a driver’s first opportunity to test new design features and understand how they will affect performance before going on to the track.

Once you determine the purpose and the value-add to your digital twin, you can then establish a “data to decisions cycle”, which ultimately means picking and choosing the data you want to capture from the twin in order to gain the business value and success from it.

Data is at the core of Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One’s simulation work. The team needs to quickly filter through the data to identify the optimal setup among millions of combinations. This involves interactive visual analytics, data science, and what-if scenarios to optimize car balance and setup parameters. Target values and parameters are tracked throughout the season. When performance in a particular race is sub-optimal there is more headroom to optimize the configuration for the next race.

If you are a technology or business leader, you can gather a vast amount of data in a short period of time, visualize it, and run machine learning algorithms to derive insights and patterns that enable teams to collaborate and make more informed decisions faster. This improves the odds of getting ahead in a very competitive business world. Digital twins produce better results and deeper insights for operational optimization. The end result? Better processes, insights, and optimal business action, giving you a competitive advantage of your own.

Overcome the Most Common Roadblocks to Digital Transformation

October 10, 2020 TIBCO Spotfire

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Your digital business is constantly changing: customer demands are shifting, as are the means of production and operation. To support effortless experiences, new business opportunities, and real-time intelligence, your business needs to be agile. However, transforming into a digital business that enables agility is not easy. You have a lot of legacy architecture and a culture that’s just not ready to change. Fortunately, you now have two resources to help you overcome any roadblocks you might be facing in your digital transformation efforts.

Both Gartner and TIBCO have recognized the most common roadblocks to digital transformation and have laid out manageable road maps of how to overcome them. Using both the Gartner report (talked about below) and the TIBCO solution (the TIBCO Responsive Application Mesh blueprint), you can become a truly agile, digital business, regardless of your current technology debt or any other hurdle that may be preventing you from becoming a digital organization.

To begin, Gartner explains three application architecture trends that you can use today to facilitate transformation, modernize your application portfolio, and deliver new capabilities. The three modern application architecture trends that they recommend you adopt to help transform are:

Mesh App and Service Architecture (MASA)

First, you must build a mesh app and service architecture (MASA) that provides fundamental architectural capabilities that enable applications to multi-channel experiences. It responds rapidly to digital business demands such as agility, shared business capabilities, security, and resiliency. As digital business depends on a flexible application portfolio that enables effortless experiences, supports new ways of doing business, and makes the most of new technologies, now is the time to implement a MASA in your organization.

API Platform

Your organization needs APIs that enable access to the services that implement your business capabilities and data. However, It is not enough to just create APIs; you must also manage and govern your APIs and pull them together into a platform of shared business capabilities. You need a full lifecycle management API platform and strategy to design, build, publish, advertise, and manage your APIs.

Event Processing

The fast pace of modern business requires that organizations improve their real-time awareness and decision making. Event driven architectures have proven to be a differentiator for those businesses that have taken the time to learn and deploy them. They deliver intelligent insights gleaned from event processing solutions detecting and responding to patterns in business operations, often in real time. Event processing is an old concept that has never really taken off in many enterprises, mainly due to its apparent complexity. However, embracing this type of architecture in a phased way can greatly speed up your digital transformation efforts.

TIBCO Can Help You Transform into a Digital Business

According to Gartner, to build business agility and transform into a digital business you need to start with three modern application architectures: MASA, an API-platform, and event processing. These provide the foundation for rapid innovation—one that is API-led and event-driven to maximize connectivity and take action on events in the business as they occur in real-time.

To help your organization take advantage of these modern application architectures, TIBCO has devised an easy to use blueprint, called the TIBCO Responsive Application Mesh. This blueprint can help you efficiently build a technology foundation that will enable agility, regardless of your current infrastructure and technology debt. Meaning – if you use the TIBCO Responsive Application Mesh, you don’t have to throw away what you already have. We will help you transform no matter what roadblocks you may face.

To support effortless experiences, new business opportunities, and real-time intelligence, your business needs to be agile. Click To Tweet

Digital businesses are constantly demanding new application capabilities. Thus, application leaders should work to modernize their application infrastructure with the latest trends to enable these capabilities. Read this report from Gartner and learn about the TIBCO Responsive App Mesh to learn how you can implement modern application architecture trends to facilitate transformation regardless of your current situation.

5 Strategies for Shifting to a Digital Commerce Mindset

August 7, 2020 TIBCO Spotfire

Reading Time: 2 minutes

COVID-19 has and will continue to have a massive impact on commerce. For many, the effects have been devastating. Retail sales are down close to 20 percent in the United States, with many categories suffering even more precipitous drops.

The retail environment is likely changed forever, meaning more online shopping, further declines in mall and department store traffic, and a greater reliance on gig workers to shop and deliver. But these changes didn’t just start with COVID-19. Many of the trends we’re seeing today are an acceleration of those that were gaining steam prior to the pandemic.

Now more than ever, retailers must invest in customer-focused strategies and digital-centric technical capabilities. Here are a few strategies worth exploring:

Channel Blurring. Go beyond dual-channel capabilities to eliminate the idea of rigid channels altogether. The purchase process from awareness to selection to completion to service is best delivered across platforms and touchpoints so customers no longer see distinct channels—instead the focus is on engaging and buying.
Predictive Engagement. Predictive engagement provides relevant and personalized interactions between a business and its current and prospective customer. Combine full contextual awareness of location, real-time behavior, inventory, and competitive pricing with past purchases and demonstrated preferences to generate a highly appropriate “next action.”
Experienced-based Commerce. Ironically, while we’re experiencing an almost unimaginable change in how we’re engaging with stores and restaurants, the ongoing importance of curation of digital and hybrid experiences will likely emerge as one of the most dominant characteristics of post-pandemic commerce.
Seamless Ecosystems. Even when commerce returns to somewhat normal, consumer demand for on-demand goods and services will continue. Therefore, a combination of new insight into the availability and location of inventory and the ability to seamlessly connect to the means of delivery will be a dominant aspect of a longer-term digital commerce ecosystem.
Demand-driven Supply. A final aspect of the shift that we’re experiencing reflects the need to more closely match the investment in supply with the realities of customer demand. Digital commerce requires a higher level of availability for more items combined with a more sophisticated ability to personalize merchandise.

Now more than ever, retailers must invest in customer-focused strategies and digital-centric technical capabilities. Click To Tweet

Required Capabilities for a Next Generation of Digital Commerce

Each of the strategies described above relies on a common data journey:

Accessing the sources of data that define the digital landscape and interconnecting each device, system, and application that plays a part in that ecosystem
Managing and refining data into an intelligent data layer that provides governed access to the right information in a form that is more easily understood and used
Applying the power of data insight and discovery to understand the past, predict the future, and closely monitor and adapt to what is happening in real time

To ensure a successful shift to digital, retail organizations must support capabilities across this entire data journey.

To learn more about how TIBCO can help your organization shift to a digital-first business design, read this whitepaper on the future of retail and how to emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic more relevant and powerful than before.

How to Build Resilient Supply Chains with a Digital Nervous System

July 20, 2020 TIBCO Spotfire

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Supply chains, which increasingly rely on global connections, have had a number of disruptions over the past 12 months, requiring greater resiliency and adaptability.

Buying intentions and stock inventory can change overnight, and many supply chain systems may not be ready for rapid shifts in purchasing patterns. And even the most intelligent companies with the most sophisticated analytics may not be able to keep up without real-time data.

This ever-changing market landscape has created a need for greater collaboration and increased information flow along the entire supply chain. Lack of cross-function support, limited workforce engagement, and lack of robust technology make it hard for organizations to achieve their supply chain goals.

Lack of cross-function support, limited workforce engagement, and lack of robust technology make it hard for organizations to achieve their supply chain goals. Click To Tweet

To solve these challenges, your organization needs a smart, real-time, data-driven supply chain management solution that delivers: real-time visibility, continuous data, streaming artificial intelligence, early warnings, risk predictions, advanced analytics, and collaboration. All the elements needed so your company, suppliers, and your entire supply chain can adapt quickly to today’s changing conditions.

That said, think of this intelligent supply chain like a “digital nervous system” that combines leading technologies including: visual analytics, data science, streaming apps, data virtualization, metadata, and integration. All of these tools work together to create a seamless, intelligent supply chain, making full use of all the data generated.

How to Build Resilient Supply Chains with a Digital Nervous System

One example of an intelligent supply chain nervous system made possible by TIBCO is Bayer Crop Sciences. Its approach implemented enterprise-scale data integration, data virtualization, 14,000 visual analytics users, steaming image analytics, and AI and edge computing to drive precision planting and farming.

This enabled the company to:

Share collaborative analytics for added agility and flexibility in precision agriculture use cases
Blend image data from drones with traditional sources (soil, irrigation, and fertilization) without moving or altering source data
Synchronize and replicate high-scale data integrations between crop profiles and its CRM

Join us for this webinar with RTInsights to learn how you can implement TIBCO Connected Intelligence solutions to build a resilient supply chain with a digital nervous system. Also, read the paper on TIBCO’s Supply Chain Nervous System for a more in-depth look.

All Def Digital Strikes Deal To Land New Series For Television

June 24, 2020 Humor

All Def Digital and Sky-backed producer Jupiter Entertainment have struck a deal to adapt the hip hop and comedy platform’s digital media series for television.

The two companies have struck a partnership to adapt All Def Digital’s library of content, including music formats The Crate and Bar Exam.

All Def, which was founded by Russell Simmons, was acquired by Culture Genesis, the LA-based digital studio whose investors include rapper T.I, Grand Hustle Records’ founder Jason Geter, NBA star Baron Davis and venture-capital firms Betaworks and Mucker Capital, last year.

Culture Genesis co-founders Shaun Newsum and Cedric J. Rogers (below) will work closely with Jupiter Entertainment President Patrick Reardon, and Vice President of Development Chris Spry on the adaptations. Reardon, in particular, has experience in this space, working on projects such as Time: The Kalief Browder Story and #FreeMeek during his time as head of television and film for Roc Nation.

In addition to The Crate and Bar Exam, projects currently being adapted include comedy series Dad Jokes and the hip hop music format Traffic Jams.

The Crate is a format challenges music producers to create a beat on the spot with the use of random objects. It gained global notoriety when Doritos launched a beat-making competition with Busta Rhymes called Blaze The Beat (see below). Bar Exam challenges hip hop artists to guess the performer of a song based on a few bars of music.

The deal was brought together by independent producer for Jupiter Michael Lappin and Sean Kilbane on behalf of Culture Genesis.

“All Def and Culture Genesis have a history of producing authentic content that promotes Black culture,” said Reardon. “There’s a clear and immediate need for more quality programming that amplifies the voices of diverse creators. Through this partnership we hope to create a wealth of content across all platforms that supports that mission.”

“Having a TV production partner of Jupiter’s caliber is critical to the continued success of our vision of elevating both our amazing talent and our content,” added Newsum. “We couldn’t ask for better partners as we bring our slate of hit shows to TV.”
