'Value-Adding' SMARTi™ optimizes current or new Supply Chain Network vendor's with :

• Dynamic Onboarding dramatically shortens onboarding time up to 75% per partner

SMARTi™ ('Grey-labeling' with IBM's products and services), un-complicates current or planned: marketing, advertising and/or ESG('environmental, social, and governance') - based campaigns advocating 'DEI', lacking a 'duty of fiduciary Shareholder & Stakeholder accountability'. IBM has more than 100 years of experience advocating DE&I.

• enhancing organizations' competitive position, agility and brand perception,

• quantifying KPIs (key performance indicators) for all shareholders & stakeholders.
