What Customers Are Thinking About R/3 On Windows
NT
The partnership that exists between Microsoft,
Compaq, and SAP gives me confidence that I can
provide immediate, quick responses to any
situation with a minimum of staff and a fraction
of the tools I would need with another system Ed
Bye, Monier Inc.
Windows NT is very stabile. The system
performance even exceeded some of our
expectations Ronald M. Seipold, WAP
Windows NT provides a uniform operating system
environment for SAP R/3, for Microsoft Office
products and for the network. The graphic user
interface makes working with the system a lot
easier for the user. This solution simplifies
system management, also reducing the hardware and
maintenance costs Gisbert Poiger, Getzner,
Mutter Cie
The decision to use Windows NT was initially
based on cost factors. Windows NT is certainly
the most attractive operating system for R/3 in
terms of price/performance Wolfgang Hermle, Bally

Monier Inc.
Case study available

• FI, CO, MM, parts of PS, 200 named, 160 active
  users, Windows NT and Oracle, Compaq

• Ed Bye, IT director, Monier Inc.
• The benefits were unbelievable. We now have, as
  a company, immediate access to detailed
  information that traditionally took a significant
  period of time to gather. The partnership that
  exists between Microsoft, Compaq, and SAP gives
  me confidence that I can provide immediate, quick
  responses to any situation with a minimum of
  staff and a fraction of the tools I would need
  with another system
• Why Monier chose Windows NT
• Seamless integration between the operating
  system, SAP R/3, and Microsoft Office for
  Windows 95
• Allowance for local autonomy of remote sites
  while providing the capability to manage the
  system from a centralized location
• Reduced learning curve and lower support costs
  because the software is easier to use

New Brunswick Power
Case Study available

• FI, CO, MM, parts of PS
• 1,200 active, 150 concurrent users
• Windows NT and SQL Server

• Gerry Schwartz, Manager Computer Services, NB
  Power
• Economics was always a factor. We dont have
  money to throw away, and the combination of
  Microsoft products are the best value on the
  market. It was important for us to pick an
  operating system that would be around for 10 or
  20 years, and Windows NT Server is the only
  modern operating system in the nineties.
• Why NB Power chose Windows NT
• Easy management, including the ability to
  monitor servers at remote sites using Windows NT
  Server management tools.
• Intuitive, user-friendly interface, resulting in
  reduced learning curve, lowered support costs,
  and increased employee productivity.
• Non-proprietary system, offering compatibility
  across a wide range of software and hardware
  platforms.

Lyondell Petrochemical
Case study available

• SD since Oct. 95, all other R/3 modules planned
• 300 concurrent users
• Windows NT and SQL Server, Compaq

• Randy Lewis, Information Systems director for
  Lyondell
• We feel very comfortable that the ProLiant
  servers and SQL Server can meet all of our
  application needs
• Windows NT and SQL Server are a way into the
  future
• We chose a platform combination that could grow
  with our long-range goal of operating the entire
  company on a client/server platform
• If one application server fails, the others can
  take over without ever affecting the customer
  community. We also have a redundant database
  server being kept current all the time by SQL
  Server. Of course, weve never had a server
  failure, but were ready if it ever happens

Case study available

• FI, CO, AM, SD, MM, PP,
• 900 named/350 active R/3 users, SNI hardware

• We have the best prerequisites for our business
  with modern technologies from SAP, Intel, and

• Implementation
• The first step towards Windows NT was an R/3 test
  installation, with which some 200 users in the
  areas of Finance, Controlling, and Asset
  Management had been working productively since
  June 1995 - it was very successful right away
• The host-oriented system software BS2000 and
  SINIX were both replaced with a client/server
  architecture - based upon Windows NT for the
  servers
• The Human Resources module will be the final R/3
  application implemented on the Windows NT
  platform

TRUMPF GmbH Co.
Case study available

• FI, CO, AM, SD, MM, PP, HR
• Hewlett-Packard NetServers
• Key reasons for choosing SAP R/3 and Windows NT
• R/3 was able to support the corporate-wide
  business reengineering project with international
  orientation scalability, long-term product
  availability, and worldwide support
• The simple operation of the Windows NT system, as
  well as its simultaneous use as a server for the
  office functions, were crucial to the decision
• HP provided a trusting relationship and was able
  to provide hardware and services including
  outsourcing from one shop
• Finally, the successful system tests and
  price/performance comparison of the system
  platforms with Windows NT on an HP NetServer
  provided an optimal solution

VICTORIA Versicherungs-Gesellschaften (Insurance)
Case study available

• FI, CO, MM, HR, IS-IS ABAP/4 Development
  Workbench,
• Windows NT, Hewlett-Packard NetServers
• We decided on Windows NT as our platform because
  we already have experience with Windows
  applications on almost all desktops, and we
  believe that Windows NT is easy to implement and
  also requires fewer specialists inside the
  computer center
• In addition to standard applications, R/3 gives
  us a development platform which allows us a
  development platform to implement products very
  efficiently, quickly, and cost-effectively
• With R/3 on Windows NT, we have a powerful,
  stable, and user-friendly solution
