Supply Chain Event Management: Category Function or Just Another Buzzword?
Overview
One of the newest morsels on the tech industry’s buffet of buzzwords is Supply Chain Event Management (SCEM.) A tighter economy and jaded IT community has analysts trying harder to define SCEM and corporate
managers working diligently to understand whether or not they need it.
Unlike CRM and some other popular “techronyms,” SCEM hasn’t ballooned into an all-encompassing category of its own with blurry boundaries.
Analysts appear to agree that SCEM is a function or capability within the larger realm of
supply chain software. One reason is SCEM is not a stand-alone application; it requires an underlying business system that collects day-to-day transaction data and organizes it. Another reason is SCEM is a discrete feature supply chain software vendors easily have added to their product suites through partnerships, acquisitions or by developing the
functionality themselves.
