The two leaders covered supply chains, apps, and more. A major topic was how to strike the right balance between solidifying the gains already made in traditional software and business with the exciting new technology hitting the market–specifically things like mobile and cloud-born apps that increase agility.

The catalyst for this conversation was a panel discussion featuring Lanng and Atzberger in Davos during the World Economic Forum last month. It was a highlight in a week full of big names and bright ideas at the Tradeshift Sanctuary.
