SGTraDex is a centralised data platform that acts as a "common data highway" across the global supply chain ecosystem to plug gaps in supply chains, which traditionally had relied heavily on a paper-based system that lacked efficiency, transparency, and sustainability. 

SGTraDex is touted as a new type of public and neutral infrastructure in a digital era that allows for data connections to be made to a wide range of data contributors and data users across the world.

What does SGTraDex spell for businesses and government departments not just in Singapore but elsewhere? With us today on PodChats for FutureCIO is Stu Garrow, SVP & GM for APAC, Talend, to talk about the challenges and opportunities that a universal data platform promises to offer.

The data platform is touted to unlock at least $100 million in value by 2026.

1.                   When working with enterprise data to make decisions, why is it crucial that executives can trust their data rather than just using their intuition? 

2.                   Define for us what a data supply chain is, as well as what it is not.  

3.                   What are the measures companies can take to achieve digital/data maturity to mitigate supply chain disruptions? 

4.                   How do you view the progression of Singapore’s supply chain (in terms of digitalisation), and how can the wider APAC ecosystem learn and benefit from the creation of SGTraDex?

5.                   Cyberattacks against supply chains are becoming more frequent, aggressive, and disruptive. Can participants in the digital supply chain let down their guard against cyber criminals with SGTraDex?

6.                   What is your advice for companies looking to improve the effectiveness and quality of their data?
