I.T. as a Strategic Advantage - Effective and Rapid Response to Competitive Forces
On-Demand Webcast - 01hr 00 min
Tyson Foods' Jeff Boyd impacts the bottom-line of the leading food production company by being on the lookout for ways to do his job smarter, finding areas to cut costs and enhancing current technology to do more with less. Discover how he does it and how you can, too, in the webcast IT As a Strategic Advantage: Effective & Rapid Response to Competitive Forces.
In this interactive Web event, you'll be able to see how Boyd, the company's Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) manager, and others are redefining IT as more than a technical implementer, but a business-driving asset.
Joining Boyd in this event was Andy Moir from Sterling Commerce, who detailed how both companies are working together from a solution perspective to distance Tyson from its competitors through automation.
