Case Study: The Kraft Heinz Company accelerates collaboration and innovation with Microsoft Office 365

Iconic food brands join forces, feeding innovation and teamwork with Office 365

The Kraft Heinz Company, a major global food manufacturer formed by the merger of Kraft and Heinz, faced the significant challenge of uniting two large organizations with distinct cultures and systems. To establish a single, cohesive identity and enable seamless collaboration for its 50,000 employees from day one, the company turned to vendor Microsoft Corporation and its Office 365 suite.

Microsoft's solution provided a common platform including email, SharePoint Online, and Skype for Business, which were already in use by both legacy companies. This allowed for immediate communication, real-time document collaboration, and virtual meetings across global teams. The results were transformative; the merger integration was achieved in weeks instead of months, decision-making was accelerated, and employees could collaborate effectively regardless of location. This fostered innovation and supported a faster time-to-market for new products and campaigns.
