Of interest for supply chainers

[Rex Brooks <rexb@starbourne.com>]

Hi Folks,

I'm passing this along not because it is either surprising nor even 
new information, but more because it confirms a couple of other 
recent rumblings. Also, it happens that I have an interest in the 
supply chain market, though more in delivering highly customized and 
personalized or personalizable information delivery for public-sector 
decision-support, rather than order fulfillment and material tracking 
per se.

However, be that all as it may, when the giant turns its attention to 
areas in which I have even the slightest interest, I pay attention. 
Been there, been squashed. I also couldn't help but notice that we 
have seen some fairly large structural attrition in the course of our 
work, losing entire companies during this long recovery, and some of 
this attrition has already occurred in the procurement/supply chain 
market, so I thought that a small alert might be worth passing along.
