Mary Ann Holder and the rise of a blockchain multiparty network ecosystems expert? MaryAnn Holder is Chief Marketing Officer at One Network Enterprises, a provider of the blockchain-enabled network platform, The Real Time Value Network. Back in 2002, Greg Brady, a supply chain visionary and Ranjit Notani a pioneer in multi-enterprise collaboration technology came to the conclusion that the traditional paradigm of business-to-business collaboration built around enterprise-centric software was fundamentally flawed. Businesses must take an outside-in network view and together serve the end consumer. In May 2003, they acquired Elogex, a cloud-based logistics software company, and founded One Network Enterprises with a vision to create consumer-driven business networks. They developed a network platform that enabled entire business communities to collaborate and work together to serve the consumer. Brady and Notani brought the network way of conducting business just as LinkedIn did so to managing professional contacts. They re-imagined how business software is built, delivered, and used for today’s dynamic and highly inter-connected world.

How should marketers address those challenges? I think it’s really getting the heart of how people consume the information that they want. We are living in the information era. The digital era of information. With the advent of the internet first in the early 1990s through now. With all the newest latest modes of communications such as YouTube and different parts and pieces of different parameters within communication and content, people are really geared sometimes in one direction, being visual, being auditory, being a reading learner. If you think back on the educational status of someone, sometimes age sometimes the demographics will tell you where they might reside in that spectrum of learning. But, really when you’re consuming data for your organization, it’s you’re on a learning process because you’re looking for the newest and the latest information to help you shine in your position and help make you a better employee, a better partner you know with your suppliers with your organization.

One Network’s Real Time Value NetworkTM (RTVN) platform is a true multiparty network ecosystem enabling two or more parties to participate on the same transaction using a common business object. The RTVN supports critical processes ranging from supply chain planning (demand, supply, respond), store planning and execution, to supply chain execution (procurement, manufacturing, fulfillment, transportation) which includes knowledge of supply chain planning and Transportation Management System (TMS)systems of records. Unlike antiquated ERP-approaches, the RTVN optimizes internal and external partners so they can achieve common financial and operational goals on the network and build trust between parties.

Today, these hybrid blockchain-enabled networks are providing a real-time, shared, single version of the truth at the core of the business community. They eliminate data discrepancies, delays, and costs, while leveraging blockchain’s strong, decentralized, and trusted network. Best of all, it supports powerful new functionality such as chain of custody apps that run on the hybrid network. These shared apps empower shippers, carriers, freight forwarders, 3PLs/4PLs and other partners to track and manage orders and shipments, and collaboratively plan and execute across all stages of the supply chain, in a trusted, transparent, yet confidential environment. Considering the strategic role logistics play in business, how an organization approaches logistics can often dictate its overall success or failure. Blockchain enabled networks are creating an unprecedented advantage by greatly speeding how goods are moved throughout the supply chain by taking the guesswork out of process and ensuring all partners are operating on the same page.
