Kellogg Uses AWS to Save $900,000 over 5 Years Over Using On-
premises Infrastructure
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.
• 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
• 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

SAP Business SuiteBackground
Hoya specializes in advanced optical technology and their finance
department was serving about 100 subsidiaries WW. Hoya began looking
for a cost effective, elastic and high performance environment to support
their business and their current “private” cloud environment could not
deliver this.
Additional Criteria:
Security, SLA’s clearly defined, external audits in place, global footprint ,
highly reliable infrastructure
The Implementation:
Cloud provider Selection: 0.5 months
DR environment set-up, test and run : 1 month
Migration of production system: 48 hours
Customer Stated Benefits:
Speed and agility: rapid response to business requirements including M&A
Cost: 50-60% cost reduction, but when Hoya considered TCO they
estimate about a 80-90% cost saving versus “private” cloud
Saved 50-60% on a cost basis
Estimated to save 80-90% on a
TCO basis
Migrated production systems in
48 hours
Entire process from going to
market for a cloud provider to full
production about less than two
months including testing and
migration

AWS Security and CertificationsPhysical Security
Amazon has many years of experience in
designing, constructing, and operating large-
scale data centers. The AWS data centers are
secured with a variety of physical controls to
prevent unauthorized access.
Secure Services
Each of the services within the AWS cloud is
architected to be secure and contains a number
of capabilities that restrict unauthorized access
or usage without sacrificing the flexibility that
customers demand.
Data Privacy
AWS enables customers to encrypt their data
within the AWS cloud and publishes backup
and redundancy procedures for services so that
customers can gain greater understanding of
how their data flows throughout AWS.
