One of the key challenges in B2B, say our guests, Jay Newman and Megan Mann of commercebuild, is the alignment between critical business systems like ERP with the e-commerce experience that customers have come to expect based on their years of B2C online shopping. But as workers with buying authority trend younger and bring distinct e-commerce sensibilities to their organizations, B2B sellers must be prepared to account for some of the most challenging requirements in areas like personalization, inventory availability, order management, mobility, and self-service. Jay and Megan share recommendations based on some of the emerging scenarios their customers are already supporting and they offer advice on how Dynamics 365 Business Central customers can plan for a successful e-commerce project.

Healthcare leaders and organizations frequently struggle to turn data into action. Executive orders and legislation putting an increase on price transparency for consumers burdens healthcare organizations to fully understand and manage the cost of services they provide.

In this webinar, attendees learn how Oracle Cloud technology provides a robust user-friendly solution for true cost-of-care analytics that – unlike other solutions – is easily scaled and adapted to support the ever-changing landscape of healthcare. Watch to see how your organization can access actionable analytics using Oracle Cloud. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3xJ2TAKQmA
