Dubai Petroleum Company (Oil & Gas Exploration / Production - Upstream
Business Unit) has Gone Live
On 02 Nov. 1997 with SAP R/3 3.0C (FI, CO, MM, PM, PA, PS) in 13 Months
(3 Months training, 8 months configuration / testing and 2 months in
quality assurance).
IT infrastructure:
Hardware: IBM RS/6000 J40s, F30 and J50
Operating System: AIX 4.1.5
SAP R/3 Kernel: 3.0D
Database: IBM DB2/6000 V2.1.2
Our main challenges were:
Data migration from mainframe to SAP R/3, managing multiple
nationalities with diversified cultures and SAP R/3 market fear of
'DB2/6000 with SAP R/3'.
Our Strengths during project:
High quality commitment by Company Management, Change Management Team,
Creative deployment of external resources, Committed support by IBM &
SAP, Hard work by team members, utilization of SAP GoingLive Services.
Cost effective, high performance and logical simplicity of DB2/6000 for
SAP R/3 with SAP GoingLive Services are few advantages we realized in
the project.
Organizations which are about to Go Live, I would suggest to use SAP
GoingLive Services, it may save very good amount of money and detect
some problems.

The reason many people fail to recognise opportunity is because it comes
disguised as Hard Work. Cleverness carries the day, But Wisdom endureth.
