Conceptualizing Supply Chain Management and Supplier Relationship Management as a Service

Abstract

Supply chain management and supplier relationship management processes are becoming increasingly important in the modern world, which has introduced a need for relevant software solutions. To handle these processes, Cerion Solutions Oy wishes to create a multi-tenant Software as a Service solution with the ability to connect to any customer backend systems. The problem is, how should a multi-tenant software solution of this kind be designed, and what must be taken into consideration? In this thesis, a technical design is produced, and a proof of concept for the application is developed. The proof of concept consists of a UI layer and a backend, both of which are written in JavaScript. The technical design will be used as a foundation for future developments.
