About this Blog

As enterprise supply chains and consumer demand chains have beome globalized, they continue to inefficiently share information “one-up/one-down”. Profound "bullwhip effects" in the chains cause managers to scramble with inventory shortages and consumers attempting to understand product recalls, especially food safety recalls. Add to this the increasing usage of personal mobile devices by managers and consumers seeking real-time information about products, materials and ingredient sources. The popularity of mobile devices with consumers is inexorably tugging at enterprise IT departments to shifting to apps and services. But both consumer and enterprise data is a proprietary asset that must be selectively shared to be efficiently shared.

The Issue of Information Ownership

Ahmed ElAmin is a business writer of over 20 years' standing specialising in development issues, technology, international business and offshore finance. He currently serves as the editor of FoodProductionDaily.com.

In May, 2007 Ahmed published an article about data ownership in The Royal Gazette after reading my white paper, Banking on Granular Information Ownership. Here's the introductory paragraph to Ahmed's article:

"Could we treat data as if it were money, private objects that can be deposited, exchanged, managed, and protected? This is the concept Steve Holcombe, CEO of Pardalis, put to me by e-mail after reading one of my articles on proposed EU legislation to limit the use of radio frequency identification technology (RFID)."
