What framework and approach have you used in the past to manage information barriers, when one of your businesses was decoupled and split into two? As such, the new entity is required to split their application/infrastructure to mitigate conflict of interest.
Has anyone created a resiliency model for application teams to follow as they build out their applications in the cloud? If so can you share any details?
If you’re integrating GenAI features into your org’s applications: Have you gone all-in on one specific model, or are you keeping your options open for the possibility of changing models later on?
Currently, our CPQ is tightly integrated with our ERP, providing unique features and functionalities that are not typically found in standalone CPQ solutions. For instance, we can perform mass updates to our BOMs (e.g., replacing one component with another, creating new BOM versions, keeping version and pricing history) directly within our current system.
Mass update capabilities for configurations are often not inherent to CPQ solutions, with vendors suggesting that such functionalities should reside within the ERP. As we transition to a new CPQ, we anticipate needing to use middleware, APIs, or interfaces to achieve similar outcomes.
I would greatly appreciate any insights or experiences you could share regarding the following:
1. Integration Experiences: How have you managed the integration between your CPQ and ERP systems, especially when using middleware or APIs? Especially interested to her from manufacturing companies who use 'smaller' ERP's (we don't use SAP).
2. Mass Update Capabilities: Are we unique in relying on our CPQ for mass updates to configurations, or is this a common challenge? How have others addressed this?
Thank you in advance for your valuable input!
Has anyone working in a highly-regulated industry deployed applications using Azure Container Apps (ACA) successfully to production? If not, why not?
