## Bob Evans Farms And Expedient: A Natural Fit

> “We knew that we would get more hands-on assistance and more white glove treatment from Expedient than some of those other larger hyperscale options.”

_– Mike Sullivan, CIO, Bob Evans Farms_

Maintaining infrastructure was never a core competency of IT at Bob Evans Farms, makers of farm-fresh foods sold in grocery stores throughout the country, and it was never meant to be. Instead, the team focuses its efforts on projects that are valuable to the business, like automation and security. When the company was acquired by Post Holdings, their cloud efforts were accelerated and a priority was placed on finding a custom-built solution to fit their technical and cost requirements. They found that solution in the Expedient Enterprise Cloud.
