SAP on AWS High Availability Guide

Kellogg’s uses AWS to save $900,000 over 5 years over using on-premises infrastructure

Kellogg’s produces breakfast foods for more than 180 countries

worldwide, with annual revenue of almost $15 billion.

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.

• Needed a better way to track and model

promotional costs (“trade spend”) to improve

the bottom line—and needed to be able to run

more than 1 trade-spend simulation/day

• By using SAP HANA on AWS, Kellogg

estimates it will save $900,000 over 5 years

versus traditional on-premises infrastructure

alternatives

• As well, the company can run dozens of trade-

spend simulations each day, and has

decreased deployment time by 30 times
