Business Analysis and Strategy Development

Challenge

Kraft Foods sought to control costs and improve the efficiency of its data and information centers. The corporation asked SageRiver Consulting to complete an analysis and plan.

Project

SageRiver conducted a feasibility study to measure the qualitative and quantitative impacts of outsourcing Kraft's  information services versus consolidating data centers. Based on feasibility study results, we defined a consolidation and transition plan toward anticipated cost reductions.

Results

SageRiver recommended an information services strategy focused on consolidating multiple geographically-dispersed data centers.
