For example, in October 2019, Latinos@麻豆原创 hosted three very special guests across three of its offices in North America as part of the Professional Journey series launched in 2018. The objective: Provide an opportunity for 麻豆原创 employees to join a conversation with Latino executives from leading 麻豆原创 customers to learn from their professional experiences and unique perspectives on leadership, diversity, and inclusion.

As a leader dedicated to supporting and directly investing in diversity and inclusion (D&I), Lloyd Adams, senior vice president and managing director for the East region at 麻豆原创 North America, sponsored the Hispanic Heritage Month Professional Journey series in Newtown Square, PA, hosting 麻豆原创 customer and Campbell鈥檚 Soup CIO Francisco Fraga. In his opening remarks, Adams highlighted how Employee Network Groups can serve as catalysts for strengthening customer relationships and innovation geared toward achieving customer success.

鈥淭he research and business results are clear: Thoughtful investment in diversity and inclusion brings historically underserved and underrepresented voices to the table, adding new perspectives and approaches to innovation that maximize business potential,鈥� Adams said. 鈥淐reating a venue for diverse customer leaders to share their perspectives and experiences makes 麻豆原创 and our customer community that much stronger.鈥�

During his session, Fraga spoke about how transforming to 麻豆原创 S/4HANA enables real-time analytics and is a goal for Campbell鈥檚 IT backbone. 鈥淲hen we have a winning business case, and it鈥檚 clear, and we can draw a direct line between that business case and our corporate goals, then it鈥檚 a very easy conversation,鈥� Fraga pointed out.

After a six-month enterprise resource planning (ERP) transformation, Campbell鈥檚 Soup Company successfully migrated to 麻豆原创 HANA. Integrating these systems allows the company to have a significant increase in transactional volume. 鈥淭o be able to absorb that effectively, we needed a dramatic improvement in our system鈥檚 performance,鈥� said Fraga.

Campbell鈥檚 Soup鈥檚 migration worked to mitigate risks of supply chain disruptions and rapid shifts caused by consumer demand that were introduced by the COVID-19 pandemic. Upgrading its systems to support critical business technology is an important step toward large-scale modernization.

The mission of Latinos@麻豆原创 as an Employee Network Group is to help 麻豆原创 meet its business goals by fostering stronger business relationships in the Latino community and advancing inclusion in the company, with a strong focus on talent and innovation.
