These important awards are the result of an ongoing business development effort and result in opportunities totaling more than $10 million. Being selected by these high-profile clients marks continued success for the Enterprise Systems Support Solutions group and for an exciting start for RWD in 2000.
''As we begin the new year, RWD is very excited about the opportunity to partner with these Fortune 100 companies as they embark on global implementations of SAP R/3,'' said Debbie Ung, senior vice president of enterprise systems support solutions.

RWD will manage multifaceted training programs for both global clients. This includes end user training for SAP Release 4.6, the latest release of SAP R/3, and incorporating SAP's Knowledge Warehouse and OnDemand implementation team training. As a key element of SAP's Knowledge Management solution, Knowledge Warehouse integrates critical knowledge assets and makes them easily accessible to a large global workforce. The airline project is in the first phase of a multiyear, multiphase rollout with a scheduled July 1 go live date. In addition to implementing SAP Release 4.6, the airline will also incorporate the e-Commerce business-to-business product suite offered by SAP.

The RWD training program will provide airline end users with an integrated approach to using the enterprise tool set the client has selected.
RWD has project teams onsite in the United States and in Europe for the consumer products company. The project is a two-part effort with an end user performance support program using Knowledge Warehouse and OnDemand as well as an SAP Academy program to provide project team training for future SAP initiatives.
