A Practical Guide to Performance Testing for Enterprise Systems

Most systems don’t fail all at once. They slow down, back up, and quietly break when demand hits from every direction at once. What passed testing last week suddenly struggles under peak volume, overlapping processes, or hours of sustained use.
 
This white paper challenges the idea that one type of performance test is enough. It shows how load, stress, and endurance testing work together to reveal what your system will actually do when it matters. Because confidence doesn’t come from passing a test. It comes from knowing how your system behaves under pressure.
 
What You’ll Learn:
  • Why performance issues slip through even when testing is in place
  • What load testing really proves, and where it falls short
  • How stress testing exposes breaking points before production does
  • Why endurance testing uncovers slow failures most teams miss
  • How to combine all three approaches into a practical, repeatable strategy
  • What performance testing looks like across real ERP, WMS, and supply chain workflows
  • How to move from one-time testing to continuous performance confidence

    If your systems only pass tests under ideal conditions, you’re still guessing. Download the white paper to see how a layered performance testing strategy helps you find issues early, fix them faster, and move forward with confidence before pressure hits production.

ZS’s Caglar Ozdag on Firefighting, AI Skepticism, and Why Data Must Come First in 2026

At the Gartner Supply Chain Planning Summit in Denver, Scott Luton sat down with Caglar Ozdag, a supply chain leader at ZS. Known for its deep analytics and technology expertise across industries such as life sciences, airlines, consumer goods, and agriculture, ZS has become a trusted partner for organizations looking to elevate their planning and manufacturing performance. Ozdag leads the firm’s supply chain practice with a focus on planning from detailed forecasting through detailed scheduling. As a former practitioner himself—having led planning operations at large global enterprises—he brings a grounded, real-world perspective to the challenges facing today’s supply chain leaders.   Old Problems Persist—and New Ones Are Emerging When asked about classic and emerging challenges in planning, Ozdag didn’t hesitate: firefighting isn’t going away. From supply planning disruptions to last-minute schedule changes, firefighting remains a daily reality. “Life happens,” Ozdag noted. Plans rarely match reality, and organizations must constantly adjust. But today, a new layer has been added: AI uncertainty. Everywhere he goes, leaders are asking the same questions: “Is AI the right investment?” “Will the ROI materialize?” “Are we adopting the right tools, or just chasing hype?” This blend of enduring complexity and emerging skepticism has become a defining…
