"Our business demanded top performance and availability, and we needed a partner who had the depth of experience to make our SAP R/3 implementation a success," said Ewald Baumann, IT manager for Telekom Austria AG. "HP delivered the solutions for our company. We are pleased to add our name to the list of companies who have selected HP and SAP."
Telekom Austria`s solution is built on HP servers, storage solutions, networking, training, and consulting, including the most powerful HP 9000 V-Class enterprise servers.
Over the last two years HP has grown its business with SAP at a rapid rate, adding more than 2,000 SAP installations in the past year alone. Many of the HP implementations involve complex enterprise environments. This fall, HP was awarded the SAP Award of Excellence for the fifth year in a row for its outstanding commitment to customer satisfaction.
"Five thousand installations have allowed us to build a strong relationship with SAP," said Peter Knapp, SAP global account manager at HP. "Our history of working together, close cooperation and seamless communications has greatly simplified implementation and ongoing support for our joint customers."
The HP and SAP ERP solution alliance is enhanced by HP`s presence as a primary computing platform at the SAP development center in Waldorf, Germany.
"We`re looking forward to working closely with SAP on the next 5,000 customer successes," said Cathy FitzGerald, worldwide marketing manager for HP`s Enterprise NetServer Division. "By being at the forefront with support services and uptime commitments -- first with the HP 9000 and now with HP NetServer systems -- HP is committed to providing the strongest platforms, technologies and solutions for today`s ERP environments."
HP delivers leading-edge computing platforms based on HP-UX and Microsoft Windows NT that provide R/3 customers with mission-critical reliability and reduced total cost of ownership. HP also offers a comprehensive set of services designed specifically for SAP R/3, including consulting, education, integration center, financing, leasing, operations, management and high-availability support services.
