EventBuilder transforms Microsoft Teams into enterprise-grade supplier diversity event infrastructure, leveraging Ford's existing security protocols while adding the registration intelligence and compliance tracking your programs demand.
Ford's supplier diversity initiatives, including the MentorWE program connecting minority and women-owned suppliers with established partners, represent a sophisticated multi-stakeholder engagement challenge requiring advanced event management capabilities beyond standard Teams functionality. Your Q3 2024 Supplier Diversity Report highlighted the need for enhanced tracking and compliance reporting across these complex partner networks.
With Barrett Evans leading Ford University's digital transformation to serve 164,000+ dealership employees globally, the intersection of learning management and supplier engagement creates unique requirements for event platforms that must integrate seamlessly with Ford's existing Microsoft 365 ecosystem while providing the advanced registration workflows and compliance reporting that UniTier systems demand.
Justin Hamilton's Digital Workplace Technology leadership has established Ford's commitment to Teams Premium and unified communication infrastructure. Our approach builds upon that foundation rather than fragmenting it, extending Teams' capabilities with ISO 27001/27701-certified enhancements that align with Ford's existing Defender, Sentinel, and Purview security protocols.
Managing registration, attendance tracking, and compliance reporting for intensive supplier diversity programs like MentorWE across hundreds of diverse suppliers requires sophisticated workflow management beyond standard Teams capabilities while ensuring data flows seamlessly to UniTier reporting systems.
Teams-native gating, allow/deny lists, segmented access, and automated compliance reporting that integrates with Ford's existing security protocols, delivered through our managed service model that handled 400+ events reaching 180,000 registrants for Microsoft Commercial Licensing programs.
Scaling Ford University's digital training delivery to 164,000+ dealership employees while maintaining engagement tracking, certification management, and seamless integration with existing Ford University Platform systems requires event management capabilities that extend far beyond Teams' collaboration features.
Advanced registration workflows, automated email sequences, post-event certification issuance, and clean data handoff to Ford University Platform, leveraging the same Teams environment your dealership network already uses with enterprise security and 24/5 live support coverage.
Ensuring new event solutions integrate seamlessly with Ford's significant Teams Premium investment and existing security protocols including Defender, Sentinel, and Purview without introducing new compliance risks or requiring additional tenant management overhead for your IT organization.

As a Microsoft Preferred Supplier (MSP #003000922) with ISO/IEC 27001 and 27701 certification, we enhance Ford's existing Teams environment rather than fragmenting your digital workplace architecture. Our women-owned business status (WBENC, OMWBE, WOSB, SBA certified) aligns perfectly with Ford's supplier diversity objectives while delivering the enterprise-grade event management capabilities that standard Teams cannot provide.
From the 2026 WBENC National Conference in Salt Lake City where we demonstrated these capabilities, to our ongoing partnership with Microsoft for their most critical virtual events, EventBuilder represents the strategic evolution of Teams from collaboration tool to enterprise event platform.
