PepsiCo Inc. and Microsoft Corp. on Monday announced a five-year partnership that establishes Microsoft as a preferred cloud provider to accelerate the brand’s infrastructure, ERP, and data estate consolidation and modernisation.
As part of the agreement, PepsiCo will roll out Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Teams to all of its 270,000 employees worldwide. In addition, Microsoft Azure will provide the brand with greater agility and the ability to derive new insights from its data estate to fuel product innovations, customer intimacy and sustainability goals.
“As a global leader in convenient food and beverages, our commitment to the timely delivery of our brand’s products has never been more important,” said PepsiCo CIO, Seth Cohen. “Through our partnership with Microsoft, we aim to improve service delivery capabilities to meet the rising demand for essential goods whilst driving new innovations to make our operations and workforce stronger and more resilient for the future.”
“Our partnership with PepsiCo applies Azure and AI capabilities to the ever-changing supply chain and retail landscape in new and exciting ways. By migrating PepsiCo’s global data estate and SAP landscapes to Azure, we’ll be able to help PepsiCo drive efficiencies from farmer to consumer,” said Deb Cupp, Microsoft CVP Enterprise Commercial Business.
“We’re also pleased to deliver Microsoft 365 to PepsiCo’s associates worldwide as part of this partnership. Mobile communication and collaboration for PepsiCo’s workforce will be one of the keys to realising the value Microsoft brings.”
This partnership is expected to fuel PepsiCo’s operational goals and aggressive innovation plans by leveraging agile cloud capabilities whilst providing Microsoft with the opportunity to expand its relationship with a leading global provider of consumer-packaged goods.
