This is an exciting time to be in the supply chain sector. Companies are extending their supply chains to more partners and more parts of the globe in order to achieve the highest value and service to their customers. Add to that the growing cost of basic commodities like oil, metals, labor and you can see why investing in supply chain efficiencies is at the top of all Fortune 500 companies. At SCM Solutions, we have been helping our clients extract the highest value from their supply chains and SAP IT investments for over four years and today starts a new chapter in that book. The SCM management team and I are thrilled to share the news that Axon Global (www.axonglobal.com) has acquired our firm (see related press release). We believe this is a fantastic opportunity to continue growing our supply chain consulting practice leveraging the resources of the largest dedicated SAP consulting firm in the world. With over 2,400 employee world-wide Axon provides the network and infrastructure to grow faster and with more depth than if we had continued to do so on our own. From Axon’s side, they get the best SAP supply chain consulting team so together we can achieve breakthrough business transformations in this expanding sector.

We have had many questions from the team on how this will change our operating model and structure. For at least the near term, very little will change. SCM’s management team will continue to run the company as Axon’s supply chain consulting arm. Our founding partners will be playing key roles in the new structure.  Pete King will own Sales and Marketing while Chris Botha will continue to his focus on delivery and customer engagements. The rest of the management team and I will play similar roles as today - building out the company and ensuring our clients and our employees remain our top priority.

As always, drop me or any of the management team an email with further questions and we will expand on the good news personally.
