What Customers Are Thinking About R/3 On Windows NT “The partnership that exists between Microsoft, Compaq, and SAP gives me confidence that I can provide immediate, quick responses to any situation with a minimum of staff and a fraction of the tools I would need with another system” Ed Bye, Monier Inc. “Windows NT is very stabile. The system performance even exceeded some of our expectations” Ronald M. Seipold, WAP “Windows NT provides a uniform operating system environment for SAP R/3, for Microsoft Office products and for the network. The graphic user interface makes working with the system a lot easier for the user. This solution simplifies system management, also reducing the hardware and maintenance costs” Gisbert Poiger, Getzner, Mutter& Cie “The decision to use Windows NT was initially based on cost factors. Windows NT is certainly the most attractive operating system for R/3 in terms of price/performance” Wolfgang Hermle, Bally www.microsoft.com/germany/partner/sap/us
