Therefore, there is no doubt about the necessity of flexibilization of the classic Supply Chain Management. Cloud Computing is now helping to cut the Gordian knot: The Cloud as a system environment has the potential to design complexity to a certain extent controllably and processes more flexibly. It is about far more than new applications and markets. It is about the fundamental redesign of logistics systems. Cloud Computing has the ability to vitally change the kind of controlling and organ
