In today's era of digitalisation, businesses in all sectors are facing new challenges. Competition is intensifying, customers are becoming more demanding and technology is evolving at breakneck speed. To remain competitive, businesses need to change. And one of the key steps along the way may be migrating to the cloud.
The right choice of a business partner is one of the main tasks of any business. The quality of goods or services that the company receives, as well as its reputation, depend on the reliability of the supplier. To make the process transparent and convenient, scoring models for assessing reliability come to the rescue.
