Chicago, IL - November 13th, 2007 -- "Consilium Consulting wins contract to serve as the Client Executive in a $2.0B Services Outsouring arrangement between Kraft Foods and EDS. This global effort included bringing Workplace Services, Application Hosting Services, Network Services and Various other IT support services into production in the new outsourced environment around ther world."

"Edward Hawkins will lead the effort to address both anticipated and unanticipated shortfalls in adopting the shared services model at Kraft." said Mr. Dharia.

Kraft is in the later stages of their strategy to further improve global and regional performance by using shared services in the business process and information technology areas. These services range from administrative accounting to data center operations. The advantages to Kraft come in the form of overall reduced cost of services and enablement of business growth.

"The transformation of their business to the shared services model includes many global and regional initiatives to get them to the desired state" says Edward Hawkins. While these initiatives are vast and often complex, they must be completed while the organization continues to perform at a high level. Given the criticality of these transformation initiatives, happening along side our operational activities, they are making a very intentional move to establish an organized delivery program to ensure quality completion. It is important that they complete our transformation at a level of quality acceptable to their business clients and their executive sponsors. They will only be able to harvest all of the value from their shared services model if they focus their efforts to manage the final stages of adoption.
