Connectivity Matters – Especially for B2B Data Transfers

Did you know that insurance companies charge you extra if you plan to drive on the roundabout at the Arc De Triomphe? Yes, traffic can become challenging around the arc.

Whenever I’m in Paris, I make it a point to have my taxi driver circle the arc at least once. I enjoy watching the traffic orchestration that takes place as vehicles merge into the intimidating traffic. Drivers, policemen, and passengers constantly overcome traffic hurdles and manage to get to their destination quickly and safely.

This image of traffic mayhem comes to my mind when B2B supply chain customers explain their data transfer challenges to me. We all want to get to our destination in a safe, simple, and quick way. Our data in the B2B supply chain deserves the same treatment. It should be transferred in a secure, quick and reliable way.
