Fueling the Acceleration of ECO-Operation is the growing business migration to cloud computing and the need for better acquisition, integration, and utilization of information across the entire network of value chain partners. Key drivers behind the emergence of ECO-Operation across Multi-Enterprise Networks include:

• Growing operational and business unit complexity worldwide
• Shift to outsourced manufacturing closer to customer markets
• Diversification and fragmentation of distribution channels
• More stringent global procurement policies, controls and practices
• Multi-modal logistics and added transportation costs and constraints
• Additional regulatory/sustainability compliance and reporting requirements

Acceleration of ECO-Operation seeks to educate major global manufacturers and their partners on the need for visibility and sustainability deep into the value network. The Acceleration of ECO-Operation program includes qualitative interviews, online surveys, report development and syndication, media-rich electronic promotion and interaction, best practices development, and high-level executive and organizational participation and presentation.

Through original content, assembled insight, and contributions from leading industry influencers and associations, Acceleration of ECO-Operation creates a reservoir of intellectual capital for organizations dealing with the challenges and business opportunities around value chain optimization and sustainability.
