What is SAP

Main character of SAP software is specialization.

Specialization means each component within the SAP software meets a particular need.

For example one component is responsible for providing web-based access to other SAP systems.

Another component is responsible for addressing product lifecycle planning requirements.

Yet another component helps interconnecting different systems to ease integration headaches.

Every company needs to manage its inventories, generate and track sales, deliver services, maximize revenue, and optimize its supply chains.

SAP is used to satisfy these needs of the companies.
From day one, SAP was created as a global software product.

The software was engineered on a multilingual and multinational platform.

Only a few years after its core product hit the marketplace the SAP become Germany's top software vendor.

Thanks to these innovative design features.

The goal was clear: to develop a software that integrates company's business functions in a manner that reflected best practices.

Their idea grew into the SAP software.

SAP = Systems, Applications, and Products in Data Processing.
