PALO ALTO, CA--(Marketwired - Jun 26, 2014) - HP (NYSE: HPQ) today announced that Mondelēz International has signed a five-year, multimillion dollar agreement with HP to transform its support environment for SAP® solutions, driving business-process improvement for the global snacking powerhouse that spans leading brands such as Cadbury, Nabisco and Oreo.

Under the agreement terms, HP will complement the infrastructure services it already provides Mondelēz International with applications services for SAP solutions to transform the computing environment to be more business-outcome focused.
