Brian Glick, Founder and CEO of Chain.IO, joins Troy Mix, Associate Director of the University of Delaware's Institute for Public Administration (IPA), to discuss what’s new, familiar, and old about current supply chain integration challenges. Topics covered in this January 17, 2022 interview include changes in what it means to optimize supply chains, the ongoing challenges of integrating new and legacy supply chain systems, and perspectives on the supply chain crisis. 

Brian has made a career of simplifying complex supply chain and trade compliance IT challenges. Chain.IO is a Philadelphia-based company with a supply-chain integration platform that provides a new approach to an age-old supply chain question—“How do we make all of these systems and people work together?” To track the efforts of Brian and the Chain.IO team, browse to https://chain.io/ or follow Brian on Twitter @bglick (https://twitter.com/bglick).
