8. 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.
