ExxonMobil is to upgrade its Enterprise Resource Allocation sofware SAP R/3 to the latest web-enabled version - MySAP.com. mySAP.com will now become the primary backbone for global business. Web-enablement means that potentially all of ExxonMobil’s 100,000 downstream employees can access the system - even while on the move.
Consolidation
The new software is intended to consolidate systems subsequent to the Exxon/Mobil merger. Individually, both Exxon and Mobil were longtime SAP customers and have already upgraded from SAP R/2 to SAP R/3.
