Mergers & Acquisitions

Tata Consultancy Services announced a new collaboration with Intel Corp. to build a "future ready reference architecture" for the rapidly evolving digital transformation requirements of global markets.

The e-commerce giant now officially is also a brick-and-mortar retailer.

The company will explore "strategic options" for its U.S. confectionery business, including a potential sale.

The former Mondelez and Amazon executive will be responsible for accelerating supply chain innovation and enabling advanced planning processes and technologies.

The company has entered into "exclusive discussions" with Brazil-based Natura Cosmeticos SA to acquire The Body Shop.

In consumer goods, Kraft Heinz and Archer Daniels Midland of Chicago and Danone of Paris are doing the best job protecting their infrastructure, as they were found to be the top three least exposed to cyber threat companies.

The partners will co-innovate, co-develop and jointly go to market with solutions based on the new SAP Leonardo digital innovation system.

Together with RangeMe, ECRM aims to be better positioned to provide an even more strategic value to its clients by offering more product discovery and category planning solutions.
