Alpine Electronics of America, Inc., is part of the global Alpine Electronics, Inc., group, based in Japan. The Management at Alpine decided to reorganize Alpine as a single company with separate divisions, and wanted to consider ERP application options. Alpine chose to replace all its existing applications with SAP R/3, and standardized on IBM eServer pSeries Model 670 servers. After a fierce contest, the IBM pSeries servers and AIX replaced hardware from other UNIX vendors, and the program took exactly one year, with a fixed go-live date to coincide with the formation of the new single Alpine company.
