Case Study: The Kraft Heinz Company achieves faster, more granular reporting with IBM Services and SAP HANA

The Kraft Heinz Company migrates SAP Business Warehouse to the lightning-fast SAP HANA database

The Kraft Heinz Company, a major food and beverage manufacturer, needed to improve SAP Business Warehouse performance as data volumes grew and nightly reporting approached its 12-hour limit. It turned to IBM and IBM Services, using SAP HANA to support faster, more detailed supply-chain reporting and analytics.

IBM helped The Kraft Heinz Company cleanse its analytics databases and migrate SAP Business Warehouse to the SAP HANA platform in just eight months. The result was a 50% reduction in database size, substantially shorter nightly reporting batches, and the ability to create new reports in weeks instead of months, enabling faster, more granular decision-making and cost control.
