Summary

In past years, many organizations have chosen to build their business systems on the UNIX/RISC platform. Now, as the life cycles of many of these platforms come to an end, organizations are choosing to migrate their critical UNIX-based business systems to Microsoft Windows Server 2003 with Microsoft SQL Server 2000. Through re-platforming to the Microsoft Windows Server System infrastructure, organizations currently running Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) applications on UNIX with Oracle can save 50 percent on costs during the next 5 years, while maintaining the enterprise capabilities they have today.

Windows Server 2003 with SQL Server 2000 can provide "four-nines" uptime with a security record superior to that of Sun, Suse, Red Hat, or Debian. Because of its reliability, performance, low total cost of ownership, manageability, and security, Windows Server 2003 with SQL Server 2000 provides a superior platform for the ERP systems of today and tomorrow.
