U Connect Conference '07

Come find out how Mervyns challenged conventional thinking and set a new standard for rapid system deployment when the company implemented all new core systems to support their $2.5 billion operation. Hear how they took a mature e-commerce trading community of 1,500 partners and orchestrated the transition from their legacy trading platforms to a new integration platform with new standards and compliance requirements while maintaining "business as usual" during a 9 month transition period.

This session will be co-presented by Steve McElveen, President of B2 Integration, and Kurt Streitz, CIO of Mervyns.

New Practice Manager - EDI Integration: Kendall Spurlock

Kendall Spurlock spent 8 years pioneering what are today known as GPS applications before going to work for Premenos in 1994. Upon completing the development of templates that interface EDI400 software with that of JD Edwards, Lawson's, SAP, MAPICS, BPCS, and other software packages, Mr. Spurlock established the Professional Services division where, as the National Director of Professional Services, he was responsible for establishing the EDI400 department and growing it into a department generating $1.2M in revenue. During two decades in the consulting industry, Mr. Spurlock has acquired in-depth knowledge of the supply chain - from manufacturing to logistics and retail. In addition, he brings experience in insurance and workers' compensation to the table. Mr. Spurlock's longstanding relationship with the supply chain software companies whose applications enable electronic business transactions and his breadth of experience in the field of EDI systems development uniquely qualify him as an expert resource for B2 Integration's clients. A passion for effectively addressing each client's individual business and technology requirements is the challenge that has governed and continues to drive Mr. Spurlock's career in the EDI industry.
