Today’s companies are much more complex than their earlier counterparts. They span the globe, grow through mergers and acquisitions, and outsource to get the job done at the right price. But as the complexity of businesses grow, so do their supply chains. Most businesses have multiple order capture and fulfillment channels, and more often than not, these channels operate as silos and do not communicate with one another as they should. This leads to inefficiency, inaccuracy, and poor customer service. In light of this, supply chain leaders need to ask themselves: how can supply chains become foundations for business agility, growth, and innovation even as they become more complex?
Oracle Fusion Supply Chain Management is one answer to this question. It offers companies five next-generation applications built on a common supply chain management model all designed to address today’s supply chain business challenges. Capgemini offers Product Master Data Management, Global Order Promising, Distributed Order Orchestration as a complete package.
This complete package of three SCM components can help your supply chain become a foundation for innovation and growth with faster decision-making, improved customer service, and higher margins.

Capgemini also has an accelerated implementation methodology called SWIFT for Oracle Fusion SCM. SWIFT stands for the “Structured Way of Implementing Fusion-led Transformation. It is designed to unlock the value of Oracle Fusion SCM -- quickly. But there’s a lot more to the name “SWIFT” than just speed.Let’s break down the SWIFT acronym.
Starting with ‘S’ for ‘Structured,’ Capgemini offers an assessment that determines how Oracle Fusion SCM can fit into the business. We also the develop a business-driven roadmap.
Next the ‘W’ for ‘Way of’ refers to Capgemini’s unique ‘Way of’ collaborating with customers, which is known as the Collaborative Business Experience. It includes Capgemini’s Accelerated Solutions Environments.
Next, the ‘I’ is for ‘Implementing.’ This is no “implementation” in the old sense of the word -- the Capgemini customized approach is specifically designed to get customers up and running fast and balances speed with risk mitigation.
Next, the ‘F’ stands for ‘Fusion-led.’ Oracle Fusion SCM has a base in Oracle Fusion Middleware, which is a powerful enabler for transformation and change. Capgemini’s Oracle Fusion Middleware expertise is supported by the Capgemini Oracle Fusion Experience (COFE) lab.
Finally, the ‘T’ is the last but most important letter in “SWIFT” and stands for “Transformation”. As stated before, when implemented correctly, Oracle Fusion SCM can be a foundation for transformation. Capgemini facilitates this transformation with Capgemini Consulting SCM experts who help you optimize your implementation of Oracle Fusion SCM for tangible business benefits.
