We've Been Studying The Kroger Co.

Your $10 billion diverse supplier spend commitment by 2030 puts supplier accelerator programs at the center of procurement strategy, while Jim Clendenen's IT leadership focuses on maximizing Microsoft ecosystem ROI across nearly 500,000 associates. These aren't generic enterprise challenges — they're specific to The Kroger Co.'s scale and Microsoft Teams Rooms deployment across 2,257 locations.

EventBuilder is a women-owned, WBENC-certified Microsoft Preferred Supplier that extends Teams into enterprise-grade event management. We've delivered 75,000+ events for Microsoft itself and regulated enterprises that cannot afford failure. Our ISO 27001/27701 certification and Microsoft SSPA Green status mean we operate within your existing security posture, not outside it.

At the 2026 WBENC National Conference in Salt Lake City, you're likely evaluating suppliers who can scale with The Kroger Co.'s distributed workforce while supporting your supplier diversity commitments. We're not just another vendor — we're a certified diverse supplier who eliminates platform sprawl by working inside the Microsoft environment you already trust.

Built for Your Teams

Learning & Development Leadership

Challenge

Senchal Murphy oversees learning and development for nearly 500,000 associates across Kroger's 2,257 locations, each equipped with Teams Rooms for training delivery. Scaling compliance training, skills development, and leadership programs requires consistent execution across this massive distributed workforce while maintaining engagement and tracking completion rates for regulatory requirements.

Our Production & Live Event Solution

EventBuilder delivers managed Teams training programs with automated attendance verification, compliance reporting, and 24/5 live support, removing operational burden from your HR team while ensuring consistent delivery quality across all locations.

We support 500 monthly training sessions for Microsoft Enterprise Support Digital with zero technical failures.
Supplier Diversity Management

Challenge

Managing Kroger's $10 billion diverse supplier spend commitment by 2030 requires sophisticated supplier accelerator programs, external stakeholder training, and secure collaboration with vendors outside Kroger's immediate ecosystem. These programs need advanced access controls, registration gating, and seamless integration with existing procurement workflows while maintaining security standards.

Our Registration & Compliance Solution

EventBuilder provides segmented access controls, allow/deny lists by company domain, and secure external stakeholder management within your Teams environment, supporting supplier diversity goals without compromising security posture.

We delivered 400+ events reaching 180,000 external registrants for Microsoft Commercial Licensing partner programs.
Enterprise IT Leadership

Challenge

Jim Clendenen oversees Kroger's Microsoft ecosystem investment including Teams Rooms deployed across all locations. Recent leadership transitions and platform consolidation initiatives require reducing vendor sprawl while maintaining security standards. Any event platform addition must align with existing Microsoft governance, pass security reviews, and leverage current infrastructure investments rather than introducing new compliance surface area.

Our Teams-Native Integration

EventBuilder extends Teams capabilities with ISO 27001/27701 certification and Microsoft Preferred Supplier status, operating within your existing tenant rather than adding new platforms to govern or secure.

We maintain Microsoft SSPA Green certification and delivered secure town halls in restricted GCC High environments.
