Director, Supply Planning (Devices), Microsoft Corporation
We’ve replaced a disconnected and manual planning system
with a tightly connected, predictive, and cognitive supply chain
using SAP Integrated Business Planning and Microsoft Azure.
Microsoft’s hardware success is supported by a vast supply chain managing over 42,000 stock-keeping units and 33
manufacturing and distribution centers across 108 countries. To meet rising demands for free shipping, returns, and
premium services, Microsoft shifted to SAP Integrated Business Planning for Supply Chain to digitally transform its
planning and reduce inventory and supply chain risks.
