Insight Adds Vulnerability Audit Service to Software Functionality

Globalization, cost-cutting have increased corporate risk; INSIGHT counters with holistic audit and mitigation services

Manassas, VA July 14, 2006 INSIGHT Inc., an international provider of planning solutions for supply chain design, announced INSIGHT Supply Chain Audit, which provides services to uncover risk and vulnerability within supply chain networks.

Terrorism; civil wars; dock strikes; attacks on oil fields in Saudi Arabia; potential pandemic; last year's disastrous hurricanes; and the ongoing threat of political, social and economic instability around the world have exposed U.S. firms to more than $300 billion in supply chain disruptions, according to a recent study by Aon Trade Credit. Initiatives to minimize supply chain costs and increase responsiveness, including narrowed supply networks, single sourcing, manufacturing consolidation in less stable countries and other cost-cutting has unintentionally exposed corporations to higher risk.
