SAP’s Oil and Gas Solution is to be deployed as part of Mobil Corp’s Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) SAP implementation "Everest". Mike Brown, Program Manager for Mobil said "Everest focused on the North American E&P, marketing and refining businesses. We have replaced more than 300 applications in the total suite of systems that run our North American business. We also implemented SAP solutions at our global petrochemicals and specialty chemicals operations, replacing the legacy systems."

SAP’s R/3 ERP solution has gained 4,500 new users over the past 10 months and is to add the SAP Business Information Warehouse for decision support, and SAP Knowledge Management. "The SAP Knowledge Management database became the holding place for all our training tools and for maintaining the current roles and responsibilities documentation and specific role-based training for our users," Brown said.
