Today marks the first-year anniversary of Supply Excellence. And what a year it’s been.

China has emerged from the world’s low-cost sourcing hotbed to become a chief competitor for increasingly scarce materials, oil, and parts.

Software as a Service (SaaS) has grown from a temporary salve offered by upstart providers to become a preferred software delivery model among the world’s largest enterprises (as well as long-held enterprise apps vendors).

And social and environmentally responsible supply approaches have moved beyond the realm of tree-hugging, Gore-for-President (again) stumpers to become leading strategies to manage risks, cut costs, and boost brand image and profits.

Since Supply Excellence was founded on the principle of showcasing supply techniques used by you and your peers, I thought a great way to celebrate our first anniversary would be to recap the year’s Top 10 most-read posts:
