Oracle’s Modern Supply Chain Experience Ends with Announcement of Office Depot Deal

Oracle ended its Modern Supply Chain Experience (MSCE) event in San Jose, CA by announcing that Office Depot, Inc. selected Oracle Cloud Applications to modernize its IT systems and transform its business processes to meet the demands of today's digital economy.

Roddy Martin, Oracle's vice president of SCM Product Marketing told SCMR in an interview that MSCE, revealed “a lot of momentum” and interest in cloud based supply chain technology.

“Companies are now deploying this technology and going-live with it. Last year, this was not the case.”

Even more so, he adds, Oracle is seeing this transition tie back to all lines of business…including reverse logistics.

Also, by enhancing the performance and outcomes of key supply chain, HR, and financial management functions with Oracle Cloud Applications, Office Depot will be able to accelerate its omnichannel growth, simplify its IT infrastructure, and lower its costs.

According to spokesmen, Office Depot is broadening its business model to stay ahead of the competition while better addressing its customers, partners and employee's needs.

“But making the transition out of just a products-based retailer to a services and subscriptions-based company meant Office Depot needed a unified business platform to support the anticipated growth and added opportunities that its new business model required,” say spokesmen.
