| SCCOST02: How do you optimize compute and data storage within supply chain systems? | 
| --- | 
|   | 

 In supply chain, data storage includes data such as customer and supplier data, services, and product catalogues. It also includes transactional data around orders, shipments, and tracking events. Supply chain data management is a critical driver of innovation and efficiency, offering valuable insights but requiring skillful handling of its volume, velocity, and variety to maximize value and minimize costs.
