United Kingdom Department For Business Trade Contracts With Altana To Provide The Uk Government With The Only Dynamic, Intelligent Map Of The Global Supply Chain

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The UK Government’s Department for Business Trade (DBT) has chosen to expand the scope of the Global Supply Chain Intelligence Programme (GSCIP) with Altana, giving the UK Government an unparalleled capability to generate policy-informing insights as well as operational programmes to support UK national interests. During the new multi-year contract, Altana’s AI platform will be used as the basis of the GSCIP data model, combining HMG data and private sector data with big data analytics to further scale the connected and intelligent global supply chain map in a secure government cloud infrastructure. Altana provides the UK government with the dynamic, intelligent map of the global supply chain, the Altana Atlas. Using the Atlas, programme member departments are able to make recommendations and develop public policies based on the latest changes to the supply chain, allowing departments to get in front of issues before they disrupt national interests. For the past two years, Altana has worked with the GSCIP to pilot the programme, which saw a rapid increase in results early in the partnership. Initially, a supply chain inquiry would take months from start to finish
