Accenture Helps Sodiaal Complete International Integration of Yoplait Liberté Canada to Accelerate Its Global Dairy Expansion

Myriam Riedel Kienzi, DG Yoplait International and member of Sodiaal’s Executive Committee

“Acquiring Yoplait’s and Liberté’s Canadian yogurt business was the most significant step in Sodiaal's international development to date. Executing it successfully required a partner capable of moving quickly, working across borders, and understanding the specific challenges facing our cooperative and our farmer-members, while also mastering the local specificities of the dairy markets in which we operate. Accenture delivered exactly that. The project now complete, we have the technology foundation to operate our Canadian business as a fully integrated part of the Yoplait family in the Sodiaal group and to pursue our growth ambitions with confidence.”

Stéphanie Jandard, Managing director, Consumer Goods & Services Lead for Accenture France & Belux

“The challenge of this transformation went far beyond a technology integration. The goal was to enable a strategic acquisition to quickly become a fully integrated business, operating through common processes and on a unified platform. Through combining our SAP expertise, our deep understanding of the food and beverage industry, and the close collaboration between our teams in Paris and Montreal, we helped Sodiaal build the technology foundations needed to support its international growth. This project demonstrates Accenture’s ability to support companies through their most strategic transformations, where growth, integration and value creation come together.”
