Closing the compliance gap: How to govern product information across your supplier network
Share
Learn how connected product information, effective governance, and supply chain visibility can help turn compliance into a competitive advantage.
About the Webinar
Compliance is no longer simply a matter of meeting regulatory requirements. Today, organizations must also navigate increasingly complex supplier networks, changing trade conditions, sustainability expectations, and growing demands for greater transparency.
When product information is fragmented across systems, teams, and trading partners, compliance gaps can quickly emerge. Organizations may struggle to confirm which information is approved, trace how it has been used, or respond consistently when requirements change.
Join experts from Loftware, SAP, and Accenture for a practical discussion on how organizations can address these challenges. Each speaker will bring a distinct perspective on closing the compliance gap, covering supply chain intelligence, governance and business transformation, and trusted product information execution.
Together, they will explore how technology, governance, and execution can work together to ensure the right product information reaches the right people at the right time, helping organizations reduce risk, improve consistency, and respond more confidently to change.
What You Will Learn
During the webinar, our speakers will explore:
- Why compliance gaps emerge across complex, multi-tier supplier networks
- How disconnected systems, processes, and product information increase risk
- What it takes to move from reactive compliance to a more proactive approach
- How governance, visibility, and traceability support better decision-making
- How trusted product information helps suppliers and trading partners execute consistently
- Why compliance can become an enabler of resilience, agility, and competitive advantage
The discussion will examine why compliance gaps emerge, how organizations can close them, and how a proactive compliance framework can support resilience, agility, and competitive advantage.
Three perspectives, one shared challenge
SAP: Systems of record and supply chain intelligence
Explore how systems of record, visibility, analytics, and increasingly intelligent decision support can help organizations manage compliance alongside cost, sustainability, and customer commitments.
Accenture: Governance and business transformation.
Understand the importance of ownership, operating models, organizational alignment, and change management in building a sustainable compliance framework.
Loftware: Product information and execution
Discover how trusted, approved, and traceable product information can help sites, suppliers, and trading partners execute consistently across the supply chain.
Closing the compliance gap is not solely a technology, governance, or execution challenge. It requires all three disciplines to work together.
