SUSE Linux Enterprise for Manufacturers

Looking for a way to make your business leaner? You're fighting an uphill battle. Things like the Internet boom, the growth of enterprise resource planning (ERP) and the lack of wide-area networks (WANs) have added significant burdens to manufacturing businesses like yours. Decentralized infrastructures and excess operational costs have become an expensive way of life. And these costs rise as you factor in under-utilized servers and redundant support organizations deployed at each site. If you are looking to make your business lean, this is unacceptable.

To innovate and get your products to market faster than ever before, you need to reduce operational costs and automate management—even at remote sites—while increasing security. This means making smart choices in your base infrastructure technology. You cannot afford to delay Linux deployment any longer. Highly competitive industries—such as retail and financial services—have embraced Linux as a way to stave off competitive pressures and rethink the way that IT will help grow their businesses. Manufacturers have lagged behind this wave, but it's time to get onboard.
