It offers financial and other automotive services through DaimlerChrysler Services. DaimlerChrysler’s strategy rests on four pillars: global presence, strong brands, broad product range, and technology leadership. DaimlerChrysler has a global workforce and a global shareholder base. With 384,723 employees, DaimlerChrysler achieved revenues of EUR 142.1 billion (USD 192.3 billion) in 2004.

DaimlerChrysler uses SAP for all its daily transactional processes where SAP was commissioned with different modules. Over 300 users at various branches located across Indonesia used the SAP system. The SAP system was running on a p-Series server with SPA R4.6c. Owing to the process intensive transactions carried out by DaimlerChrysler across the country the SAP databases were growing at an alarming rate, which resulted in high back-up times and high incremental hardware cost for storage on the SPA server. As the database sizes grew at a very large pace the performance of the SAP systems reduced dramatically increasing bottlenecks for the users.

Problem

DaimlerChrysler needed a central repository that would offload the data from the SAP R/3 databases for the SAP system to perform optimally.
