(“trade spend”) to improve the bottom line—and needed to
be able to run more than 1 trade-spend simulation/day
 Running SAP Accelerated Trade Promotion Planning
(TPM) – Powered by SAP HANA
 By using SAP HANA on AWS, Kellogg estimates it will save
$900,000 over 5 years versus traditional on-premises
infrastructure alternatives
 Increased business agility: Company can run dozens of
trade spend simulations each day, and decreases
deployment time by 30x
 Leveraged existing SAP HANA software license investment
on AWS
 Familiarity and Accessibility of the AWS platform enabled
engineers to easily apply their existing knowledge and
infrastructure skills
Kellogg produces breakfast foods for more than 180
companies worldwide, with annual revenue of almost $15 B.
Using AWS
saves us
$900,000 in
infrastructure
costs alone,
and lets us run
dozens of
simulations a
day so we can
reduce trade
spend. It’s a
win-win.
