Computing, 19 May 2008
Daimler has signed a global deal to standardise all automotive supply chain and financial processes on SAP software.
The company is already a user of the system, but under the new contract plans to extend its reach from 65,000 to 100,000 users around the world.
The move is part of a global IT harmonisation project at the manufacturer as it moves to a service-oriented architecture strategy.

The deal also covers software maintenance, development, consulting and what SAP called "maximum attention" support.
