PR Newswire (US)
World's Leading Provider of Business Software Taps Global IT
Services Firm as Go-To Partner for F&B SMEs ROSEMONT, Ill.,
Sept. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Kanbay International, Inc.
(NASDAQ:KBAY), a global management consulting, technology
integration and development, and outsourcing firm, today announced
that it is teaming with SAP America, Inc. to provide single-source
solutions for small and midsized enterprises (SMEs) in the food and
beverage sector. In response to demand for fast, simple and
cost-effective improvements to business processes, Kanbay will work
closely with SAP's Food and Beverage Industry Business Unit (IBU)
to bring turn-key solutions, based on SAP Best Practices, to
market. Kanbay is also an SAP Services partner and one of only
seven SAP & SAS 70 Type II Certified Hosting partners in the
U.S. Through these partnerships, Kanbay helps SAP customers
implement and integrate SAP applications, optimize business
processes and provide strategic business consulting. Kanbay's
current food and beverage client roster includes companies such as
Florida Crystals Corporation (FCC), Flowers Foods, McCormick &
Company, Inc., and The Schwan Food Company. When FCC acquired an
interest in American Sugar Refining, Inc. (owner of the Domino(R)
Sugar brand), the company sought to integrate its acquisition
quickly and efficiently without disruption to the business. FCC
called upon Kanbay (then Adjoined Consulting, Inc.) to tackle the
technology transfer migration and integration from the seller's
parent systems. "Kanbay has been recognized in the industry as a
premier solutions provider to the food and beverage sector," said
FCC's CIO Don Whittington. "We chose Kanbay (then Adjoined
Consulting, Inc.) to assist with this strategic acquisition because
they have proven to be an IT services firm that offers agile,
adaptive solutions that can integrate well with our existing
technologies, support and refine our business processes, and
provide flexibility for the future." Kanbay's experts in both the
Enterprise Resource Planning and Consumer Packaged Goods and Retail
practices work closely with SAP to co-create solutions for
customers. "Kanbay has a strong track record of delivering business
results through SAP, and we look forward to collaborating further
on solutions that will meet the planning, design, implementation
and integration needs of their food and beverage customers," said
David Northington, Managing Director of Kanbay's Enterprise
Resource Planning practice. "Our strong relationship with SAP is
further proof that Kanbay has distinguished itself in the
marketplace through its domain expertise, as well as its unique
on-shore, off-shore global delivery model." About Kanbay
