Challenge	Mondelēz International, a global food and beverage leader, faced significant challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic. The company had to accelerate its consumer-centric growth strategy amidst the global disruption. A significant part of this strategy involved replacing outdated, disconnected systems and tools for innovation process management.

The company was also faced with the challenge of delivering products to market that exceed consumer expectations faster and more profitably. The existing disconnected legacy systems were hampering timely insights, decision-making, and resource allocation.

Solution	To address these challenges, Mondelēz partnered with Sopheon to deploy its Accolade software as a new, enterprise-wide platform for innovation portfolio and process management. The software was implemented rapidly, with a focus on driving adoption across the global enterprise. The initial Accolade implementation was built in just nine weeks, followed by four weeks of testing and validation. The solution aimed at creating a 'single source of truth' by retiring outmoded processes and disconnected software solutions, then merging those functions into Accolade. With Accolade, Mondelēz International achieved 100 percent global visibility to all new product initiatives in the portfolio. This enabled the company to allocate resources and prioritize the highest-value products. The entire global organization now uses a single source for information, product, project, and portfolio management, enabling greater collaboration and efficiencies across product lines and business units.
