demic, not least due to the spike in demand for working remotely and sharing jobs between factories to overcome supply chain instability. So here we are with the release of this new version of Automation Engine, which we now also roll out with a SaaS deployment option. Customers can benefit from new developments in user experience, either in an on-premise deployment or in a cloud deployment. To further underscore our intentions and plans for cloud-based software, we released a new white-paper ti- tled ‘Cloud Freedom’. And it does not come as a surprise that a number of important global market and industry drivers are the basis of an acceleration of workflow digiti- zation and automation.

In general terms, it’s fair to say that supply chains across the world are very unstable and fragile. The just- in-time principle is under a lot of pressure, susceptible to the smallest hiccup in the sup-ply chain. And while we all immediately think about the impact of the global Covid pandemic, in the past 10 years we’ve seen many such in- cidents and accidents that created bottlenecks in supply chains - not only the supply of consumer goods, but also the supply of cartonboard and other substrates to the con- verters, and the supply of packaging to the filling lines of brand owners. Think of “accidents” like the recent prob- lem in Egypt’s Suez Canal, blocked by a huge container ship, or terrorist attacks, weather-related vulnerabilities, natural disasters like earthquakes and tsunamis, a volcano eruption in Iceland, globalization versus import and export protectionism, the list goes on. Packaging converters realize more and more they need to organize in function of these supply chain hiccups and invest in an infrastructure that allows them to respond very quickly. The cloud enables workflows to do exactly that. Q) What is the primary reason companies stumble in their planning to switch to a cloud-based operation?
