New technologies in computing, particularly in smart phones, means that one can actively engage with people in the field or across the globe. What this should mean in the future is that more people are involved in projects than is the case now, as barriers of distance will be reduced.
Managers will be able to approve purchase orders, or check the status of auctions or invoices from smart phones, tablets, or other devices not yet in existence. As more work is done from the field, better intelligence will be brought into critical supply management and sourcing processes as well as data gathering and analysis exercises. This will lead to better, faster decisions.
