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.
2. A
BUT
VERY
Simple
Powerful
Idea
Winning Companies Will Operate as Networks
In the future, the best companies wonât act as single organizations, unconnected from one
another, but as interconnected, agile business networks that operate far more efficiently and respond far more quickly than the companies we know today. These companies
will be the new leaders in the global economy. And theyâll do it on the strength of
their information systems.
Cloud Supply Chain:
More than Just Good IT Economics
2
The ERP and business software systems companies
have been buying for the past thirty-five years
were designed to do, essentially, one thing: automate the processes within a single enterprise. They
werenât 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 âlicense and installâ software. The
supply chain is not a chain â itâs a network. And
business networks must be flexible and global.
Cloud gives companies the power to take their
operations to the next level.
GT Nexus Corporate Overview
Weâre 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 â global commerce
and trade â to give companies a rapid, low-cost
path to achieving breakthrough business agility
and performance.
GT Nexus is the industry-wide collaboration platform 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.

KEY INNOVATION
The Single Object Information Model
On social networks like Facebook and LinkedIn, if you change an attribute in your personal profile, your
âlinkedâ friends get the update immediately. Change it once and your entire network is on the same page â
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 information, thatâs a revolution of the highest order.

We provide the business software applications,
the technology, and the in-place partner community to give companies the network advantage
they need. Itâs 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 OPPORTUNITY
The Platform is Flexible
Itâs a platform for all â but itâs a platform for the
specific needs of each and every company in the
network. And theyâre 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 businessto-business commerce.
GT Nexus connects the financial and physical supply chains.

A Different Kind of Platform
Supply chain success is dependent upon inter-company collaboration across business networks 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 communicate across company boundaries quickly. One that can model complex business relationships 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.
Itâs 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.
