SuSE Linux Deploys mySAP.com on CompaqNuremberg 15 February 2002 SuSE announced the implementation of mySAP.com on "SuSE Linux Enterprise Server", one of the most advanced enterprise Linux computing systems, at the SuSE Nuremberg headquarters. Since the beginning of this year, SuSE Linux uses SAP's enterprise resource planning tool on Compaq hardware for the company's business operations.
Since mid-2001, SuSE Linux Enterprise Server is certified for
mySAP.com and can be deployed from corporate users throughout the
world with full support by SAP AG and SuSE Linux AG. Since the effective startup on January 1, up to 120
employees at the SuSE Nuremberg headquarters have been working
with the modules SD (Sales & Distribution), MM (Materials
Management), FI (Finance), and CO (Controlling). Next, SuSE plans
the implementation of the customer relationship management tool
myCRM.com with an integrated e-commerce solution. Thus, SuSE is
one of the first companies worldwide that deploys mySAP.com both
on servers and workstations under a Linux operating system.
SuSE Linux AG utilizes four Compaq ProLiant series machines as
server platform for the central mySAP.com installation; two Compaq
ProLiant DL580 systems for the SAP R/3 installation and the SAP DB
installation, and two Compaq ProLiant ML530 systems as development
and test servers.
Besides the evaluation of the company's processes and the
subsequent customizing of the SAP R/3 modules, the consolidation
of comprehensive master data was a major milestone of SuSE's SAP
project. Before the ERP system's final implementation, a wide
range of surrounding activities such as extensive quality
assurance tests, programming of company-specific modifications,
the integration of suppliers and service partners in the ERP
system, and the training of the staff had to be carried out.
