History of SAP
• SAP Software was Founded in 1972 by Wellenreuther, Hopp, Hector, Plattner, and Tschira.
• The full name of the Parent Company is SAP AG
• SAP is #1 in the ERP market. As of 2010, SAP has more than 140,000 installations worldwide, over 25 industry-specific
business solutions and more than 75,000 customers in 120 countries
• Other Competitive products of SAP Software in the market are Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, etc.
What makes SAP Different?
• A Typical Company has many separate systems to
manage different processes like Purchasing,
Production, Sales and Accounting.
• Each of these Systems has its own Databases and
rarely passes information to other systems in a timely
manner
• SAP takes a different approach
• In SAP, All applications access Common Data. Real
Events in the Business initiate Transactions.
• Accounting is done automatically by events in
Purchasing, Production & Sales.
• Sales can see when Products can be Delivered,
Production schedules are driven by Sales.
• The Whole System is Designed to be Real-Time and
not Historical.
