REDMOND, Wash., July 16, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- On Monday,
Microsoft Corp. and Campbell Soup Co. announced a partnership to
modernize Campbell's information technology (IT) platform through
the Azure cloud by streamlining workflows and driving
efficiencies.
The migration to Azure is designed to improve the responsiveness
of Campbell's IT infrastructure, enabling it to be faster and more
agile. Azure will provide Campbell with a global, hybrid cloud
solution that will deliver new capabilities and provide
near-real-time access to information and insights that will inform
business decisions. The platform will streamline operations across
the enterprise and provide additional flexibility for Campbell
employees through customized reporting and analytics.
"Campbell's migration to Azure will increase our flexibility,
agility and resiliency," said Francisco
Fraga, CIO, Campbell Soup. "Azure will give us the ability
to respond quickly to evolving business needs, introduce new
solutions, and support our 24/7, always-on architecture. The
Microsoft cloud is a proven, reliable and highly secure
platform."
"We are honored that Campbell chose to modernize its IT
platforms and evolve its digital strategies with Azure," said
Judson Althoff, executive vice
president, Worldwide Commercial Business, Microsoft. "We are
looking forward to working with Campbell as it transitions to the
cloud, helping them optimize operations, extract insights from data
and advance their business."
The Microsoft solution will provide additional benefits,
including increased security, compliance and information
protection. The move to Azure will allow Campbell to re-architect
its data warehousing capabilities to be able to support the
company's data and analytics needs.
