We currently use external platforms for various aspects of our supply chain, such as inventory management, transportation, traceability, and invoicing, which enhance accuracy and streamline our supply chain operations. They are integrated with our ERP systems to optimize processes instead of manual operation. We are actively discussing the incorporation of AI technology with these external partners to improve efficiency and visibility, especially in our interactions with freight forwarders, carriers, and inventory management processes. Our customers constantly want service improvements, so this becomes very relevant to us.

How long does your organization retain original systems logs used to filter SOX-related actions into a system that requires review of the logs and retains the filtered logs for seven years? Does your organization consider those original system logs records subject to record retention requirements, or supporting information used to create the SOX records?

Has anyone used a tool like Office Timeline Expert (formerly Pro) to create timeline charts in PowerPoint? I'm looking for a tool to allow non-experts to enter timeline data and automatically create very pro, board-ready timelines. I'm aware of monday.com and tools that require a decent amount of configuration in advance. Something light and fast would be preferable.

Historically, we ran WSO2 and BizTalk, tightly integrated with most of our systems. Recently we’ve shifted to Google Cloud Platform and we already replaced WSO2 with Apigee as our API management layer. Now that BizTalk is approaching retirement, we want to replace it as well – but we’re trying to determine the best approach in a GCP-centric architecture. A few questions for the group: Can we leverage Apigee capabilities to cover most (or all) of BizTalk’s integration/orchestration responsibilities? Or would you strongly recommend adopting an iPaaS to replace BizTalk’s integration workflows? Has anyone successfully implemented an alternative approach on GCP (other than iPaaS) that worked well in practice? If you have gone through this migration, what direction and reference architecture would you recommend? I would be very interested in hearing what you have implemented and what has worked well (or not well) in the real world. Thanks in advance!
