Why
The Intercloud Fabric POC is a significant step forward on our journey to a high-
visibility, analytics-driven supply chain.
We’ll see visibility improvements quickly. In
order booking, for example, real-time, more granular visibility will help us increase on-
time shipments, and react to lead time attainment, lead time as scheduled, and other
key performance indicators faster.
Product delivery milestones will improve. Everyone across the supply chain, including
Cisco customers with access to data in the cloud, will know when and where a
shipment is throughout the delivery lifecycle. This visibility will boost productivity at
our regional locations and lower logistics planning costs for both Cisco and our
partners.
We’ll also see data management gains. Multiple layers of data are exchanged between Cisco and our partners, and the data is
aggregated in a central location (Cisco cloud or the provider cloud).
“The frequency of that data will be much faster than we currently see it,” says Yogee Katbamna, Director, IS, Supply Chain
Management at Cisco. “The accuracy of the data can be validated, updated, and changed quicker. This will give us more accurate,
clean, and timely data to act on.”

We anticipate other benefits from using Intercloud Fabric, in data management and process innovation, for example
. We’ll become
more adept at harnessing intelligence from all the data being collected, and using analytics to move from reactive to proactive to
predictive capabilities and faster decision making throughout the supply chain ecosystem.
Supply Chain Powered by the Internet of Everything
The supply chain and logistics are tremendous areas of opportunity for the Internet of Everything (IoE). Technology trends such as
cloud and mobility only broaden the opportunities further. Intercloud Fabric provides seamless connections across the supply
chain, serving as a backbone for the IoE. When the IoE works, the entire supply chain can react in real time to changes in
inventory, delivery, and demand.
