Like Peanut Butter and Jelly, Good Partners go with an SAP Implementation

For over 120 years, Eby-Brown has been a leading convenience store supplier and wholesale food distributor of tobacco, candy, and convenience products. They are the largest privately owned distributor in the U.S. with:

$4.5 Billion in Annual Sales
13,500 Retail Locations Served
7 Distribution Centers
1,433,000 Square Feet of Warehouse Space
2,000 Employee Members

SIM Chicago is excited to present Kevin Reilly, CIO for Eby-Brown Company. Kevin will share his story on how through multiple years and several million dollars later Eby-Brown successfully implemented SAP. Unlike many CIOs taking on this scale of a project, Kevin survived the implementation and derives the success to:

Exceptional internal and external implementation partners
Committed executive staff
Selecting a systems integration partner whose culture and work ethic matches your company's attitude
Creating an internal team with strong functional leaders who can speak for their executive sponsors
Effective communication with the project team, stakeholders, customers, vendors, employees, executives and owners
The joy of working in a private company environment during an ERP implementation and successfully closing the project while also remembering how to have fun along the way

Please join SIM Chicago for breakfast on November 10th as Kevin shares his success story. You are certain to walk away with at least one "golden nugget".

We look forward to seeing you November 10th.
