Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the paradigm shift developed with the technological revolution and the internet, and what drives business actors to rethink their strategies and be in constant technological upgrading that allows them to penetrate and evolve constantly in this new environment, and become more competitive, and on the other hand, to review the opportunity of integrating SCM environments to internet and cloud computing to achieve the definition of these new business strategies, based on more efficient and cost economic technology. It was particularly reviewed within a telecommunications and technology multinational that has resources, infrastructure of their own, and knowledge, and the opportunity to use those tools.  An E-SCM was proposed for it, supported on exploration researches and E-SCM studies performed by several authors. The present paper briefly discusses the design of an E-SCM proposal in a telecommunications and technology company for its three main processes by using their existing resources.
