Shortly after acquiring Veritas in late 2005, Symantec began an ERP rollout, referred to
internally as ‘Project Oasis,’ intended to standardize and unify the Symantec and Veritas information
systems. The goal of the rollout was to create a single ERP system, within which all of the company’s
extensive network of resellers, integrators, distributors, and customers could place orders for over
-i 250,000 different products Symantec offered in the same way.
