Up to the year 2002 Deutsche Post AG (DPAG) used mainframe based SAP R/2 software for economic core applications. Since the maintenance and support for the R/2 modules are beingterminated by SAP AG in the year 2004 and the maintenance of the specific R/2 core used by DPAG was terminated at the end of 2002, the enterprise had to migrate to SAP R/3. In November 2002 thecompany upgraded the system with the Intel® Xeon™ processor MP with Intel® NetBurst™ microarchitecture, Hyper-ThreadingTechnology and integrated three level cache architecture.
