Epson-Europe Makes Significant Cost Savings by Migrating SAP Systems to IBM eServer pSeries

Overview Based in Amsterdam, Epson-Europe B.V. is the strategic, financial and administrative headquarters for the corporation's European, Middle Eastern and African activities. In order to reduce operational costs and improve service levels, Epson-Europe decided to move its outsourced SAP infrastructure back in house. The UNIX-based servers on which the software was running were at the end of their maintenance contract, and would have been expensive to maintain and support, so the organisation opted to replace them. Working with IBM Global Services, Epson-Europe has implemented 11 IBM eServer pSeries 650 servers running SAP R/3 4.6C and SAP Business Warehouse (BW) 3.0B on IBM AIX 5.2. The SAP R/3 environment serves 1,300 named users, while BW has 250.
