Glovia in the news
Glovia International's CEO Matthew O'Malley talks to The Wall Street Transcript.
NEW YORK, December 19, 2001/Business Wire - The Wall Street Transcript has published an in-depth interview with Matthew O'Malley, President & CEO of Glovia International, in which he talks at length about the company's future.
The entire 2,900-word interview is available free online at http://www.twst.com/ceos.htm.
O'Malley gives an overview of the company. "Glovia has a rich background in providing technology solutions to the business problems faced in the manufacturing sector. As the market has evolved, we've made all of our technology Web-enabled using open standards languages that facilitate integration of our offerings. Today, the company operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of Fujitsu. With 187,00 employees worldwide, Fujitsu is a $50-billion company that operates in 159 countries."
Looking forward, O'Malley states, " Our objective is to be a leader in B2B e-commerce for the global digital marketplace. Our vision is based on three components: globalization, visualization and optimization. Globalization encompasses multi-language, multi-currency and multi-location; business visualization includes 25 key performance indicators visualized and colored; and business optimization is the ability to visualize and thus optimize one's business operations. This is the future of Glovia.
I think Dell is one such company who is already espousing these ideas. It seems that the company has moved to a demand chain management model ahead of other players. Demand chain management empowers a manufactures as it frees them of building to highly unreliable sales forecasts because in this model, goods are sold, sourced and then built. It seems that Dell has a clear understanding of elements like globalization, visualization and optimization."
This interview is part of a 190-page e-Business Issue available at http://www.twst.com/info/info468.htm or by calling 212/952-7433.
