The Federated Microservice-based Supply Chain Collaborative Platform is a multi-enterprise supply chain network platform that brings about visibility for multi-tier supplier collaboration to manage disruptions and traceability, all while preserving data privacy and ensuring organisations' data security.
A federated database architecture is one in which a collection of independent database systems are united into a loosely coupled federation to share and exchange information.
Central to this solution is a Hybrid between Cloud and Local resources, where only metadata, models and references are kept by the Cloud. This allows actual data to be preserved locally, avoiding mass data migration and privacy concerns among different organisations in the supply chain—a novel approach not currently available commercially.
