GT Nexus Corporate Overview
Cloud Supply Chain: More than Just Good IT Economics
The ERP and business software systems companies have been buying for the past thirty-five years were designed to do, essentially, one thing: auto-mate the processes within a single enterprise. They weren’t designed to automate the processes across constellations of companies working together as global trading communities.
Cloud changes everything. The superior economics of cloud computing are already abundantly clear. When it comes to supply chain, cloud goes a step further by enabling entirely new information sharing models that simply were not possible using traditional “license and install” software. The supply chain is not a chain — it’s a network. And business networks must be flexible and global. Cloud gives companies the power to take their operations to the next level.
We’re GT Nexus
At GT Nexus, we built a company around a simple but very powerful idea: put a single cloud-based collaboration platform at the center of a huge and enormously inefficient market — global commerce and trade — to give companies a rapid, low-cost path to achieving breakthrough business agility and performance.
GT Nexus is the industry-wide collaboration plat-form that leaders from nearly every sector rely on to automate sourcing, trade finance and logistics operations across their global partner networks. For these companies and their trading partners, GT Nexus is where global trade happens.
Winning Companies Will Operate as NetworksIn the future, the best companies won’t act as single organizations, unconnected from one another, but as interconnected, agile business networks that operate far more effi-ciently and respond far more quickly than the companies we know today. These companies will be the new leaders in the global economy. And they’ll do it on the strength of their information systems.

KEY INNOVATION The Single Object Information Model
On social networks like Facebook and LinkedIn, if you change an attribute in your personal profile, your “linked” friends get the update immediately. Change it once and your entire network is on the same page — instantly. In the world of supply chain, this information model takes on exceptional power. Orders, shipments, products, invoices, payments and hundreds of other complex and dynamic business objects are modeled and represented just once, in the cloud, on GT Nexus, so your whole supply chain is working from the same single version of supply chain truth. In an industry plagued by inefficiency and poor informa-tion, that’s a revolution of the highest order.

The GT Nexus Platform
We provide the business software applications, the technology, and the in-place partner com-munity to give companies the network advantage they need. It’s the combination of these three things that makes information sharing and collaboration across globally distributed partner networks finally possible. You get there by putting your supply chain in the cloud. You get there by putting your supply chain on GT Nexus.
The Platform is Flexible
It’s a platform for all — but it’s a platform for the specific needs of each and every company in the network. And they’re on GT Nexus today. Global supply and demand is always on the move. Whether it is new sourcing strategies, new market expansion or unexpected disruptions, the path to operational agility begins with technology that is delivered in the context of a network. In the same way social platforms have changed the way people interact with each other, GT Nexus is transforming business-to-business commerce.
Financial and Physical Supply Chain FusedGT Nexus connects the financial and physical supply chains. This allows buyers, sellers, financial institutions and logistics providers to work over a common platform with a single consistent information base supporting multiple supply chain functions.

COMMUNITYCOMMUNITY
A Different Kind of PlatformSupply chain success is dependent upon inter-company collaboration across business net-works that span the globe. Traditional tools are insufficient. An entirely new technology approach is required. One that harnesses the power of the Internet to connect and communi-cate across company boundaries quickly. One that can model complex business relation-ships and commerce rules among trading companies and their service providers.
THE PLATFORM At GT Nexus we combined three critical and inter-locking technology components into a single unified cloud platform.

The Community
No technology platform, by itself, is enough to deliver breakthrough results. A platform also needs a community. It’s taken GT Nexus over a decade to reach a network density of logistics service providers, suppliers, trading partners and financial institutions that can radically change the economics of enabling an electronic trading community. Thousands of companies, including category leaders in every major vertical, are on GT Nexus today. Collectively, the community manages more than $100 billion worth of goods on the platform each year.
