Benefits
The Information Advantage
Over the last half of
the 20th century first world commerce has shifted increasingly
to a focus on information as an opportunity for competitive
advantage. Like many industries, agriculture has become a
highly automated and knowledge based discipline. At the farm
gate of the 21st century margins are thin, international competition
for markets is fierce, production conditions are volatile
and environmental concerns are pressing producers, in particular,
and other supply chain participants to document their activities.
Under these conditions, supply chain participants that are
able to exchange information effectively with their trading
partners and alliances-able to inform and to be informed via
a collaborative data network-will enjoy a material competitive
advantage.
Eleview was established by the Ontario Agri-Food Industry
to improve the access of Commodity and Crop Financing Organizations
to information and to process it more efficiently. Eleview
has evolved to provide a general solution to the challenges
of electronic communication flow between Ag Industry data
systems. The high start-up costs for such an ebusiness network
have already been absorbed. Eleview is your opportunity to
leverage that investment.
Value Rises with Participation
Like any network, the
value to every participant rises with each new participant.
The first fax machine had exactly no value. The second
added little. But look at fax communication today because
business recognized the value in adopting a single standard
for communication. So it has been as business agreed
on the standards on which the Web operates. So it is
today as industries create ebusiness services to make electronic
data interchange accessible and affordable for all supply
chain participants.
The Ag Industry is no different. The value Eleview can
deliver rises or falls in proportion to the level of Industry
participation. Register now-producer membership is free,
the cost to grain elevators is nominal and the participation
of these two groups allows Eleview to create a strong value/cost
relationship for all participants: producers, elevators, food
processors, commodity groups and other supply chain participants.
