Real World Customer Success Story

	Grohe
Grohe is a leading supplier of water technology solutions in Germany and Europe, and is one of the largest exporters of bathroom fittings in the world. Several years ago, Grohe introduced SAP R/3 at several of its key affiliates.

Under its enterprise computing consolidation initiative, the company is in the process of replacing legacy systems with a common, centralized Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) landscape. An integral component in this effort is the company's mobile sales application. For this platform, Grohe has implemented a solution based on the mobile sales functionality of mySAP Customer Relationship Management (mySAP CRM) running on xSeries servers under the Linux operating system. See Grohe excels with ERP and mobile sales solutions from IBM and SAPM.

	OMV
OMV is involved in exploration and production projects worldwide, operates an efficient oil and gas supply system, and has a comprehensive network of petrol stations across Central and Eastern Europe. OMV always had a powerful IT structure so it could react quickly to changing market conditions and new customer requirements. In 1996 the company migrated successfully from SAP R/2 to SAP R/3, and in 1998 the S/390 was introduced.

"Linux on zSeries is a solution that gives us availability, reliability, and scalability and at the same time is cost-effective and economic to run." - Walter Rotter, IT Manager, OMV.
