CREATED BY:

2. WHAT IS SAP?
SAP is one of the world’s leading producers of software for the management of
business processes, developing solutions that facilitate effective data processing and
information flow across organisations.
What does SAP stand for? (What is SAP full form?)
The name is an initialism of the company’s original German name: Systemanalyse
Programmentwicklung, which translates to System Analysis Program Development.
Today the company’s legal corporate name is SAP SE — SE stands for societas
Europaea, a public company registered in accordance with the European Union
corporate law.
How do you pronounce SAP?
People often ask, “How do you say SAP?” It is an initialism, not an acronym, therefore,
it is pronounced as individual letters (S-A-P). SAP is not pronounced as a word (“sap”).

3. OVERVIEW
• Founded in 1972, the company was initially called System Analysis Program Development (Systemanalyse
Programmentwicklung), later abbreviated to SAP. Since then, it has grown from a small, five-person endeavor
to a multinational enterprise headquartered in Walldorf, Germany, with more than 105,000 employees
worldwide.
• With the introduction of its original SAP R/2 and SAP R/3 software, SAP established the global standard
for enterprise resource planning (ERP) software. Now, SAP S/4HANA takes ERP to the next level by using the
power of in-memory computing to process vast amounts of data, and to support advanced technologies such
as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning.
• The company’s integrated applications connect all parts of a business into an intelligent suite on a fully digital
platform, thereby replacing the process-driven, legacy platform. Today, SAP has more than 230 million cloud
users, more than 100 solutions covering all business functions, and the largest cloud portfolio of any provider.
• Christian Klein leads the company, heads up the Executive Board of SAP SE, and, at 41, is the youngest CEO of
any major enterprise on Germany’s DAX blue chip market index.

5. WHAT IS SAP SOFTWARE USED FOR?
• Traditional business models often decentralise data
management, with each business function storing its own
operational data in a separate database. This makes it
difficult for employees from different business functions
to access each other’s information. Furthermore,
duplication of data across multiple departments increases
IT storage costs and the risk of data errors.
• By centralising data management, SAP software provides
multiple business functions with a single view of the truth.
This helps companies better manage complex business
processes by giving employees of different departments
easy access to real-time insights across the enterprise. As
a result, businesses can accelerate workflows, improve
operational efficiency, raise productivity, enhance
customer experiences – and ultimately increase profits.

6. WHAT IS ERP SOFTWARE ?
• ERP stands for “enterprise resource planning.” ERP
software includes programmes for all core business
areas, such as procurement, production, materials
management, sales, marketing, finance, and human
resources (HR).
• SAP was one of the first companies to develop
standard software for business solutions and continues
to offer industry-leading ERP solutions.

7. ADVANTAGES & DISADVANTAGES
Advantages
The main advantages of SAP ERP,
especially the systems intended for large
enterprises (ECC and S/4HANA) include
the following:
• standardization of an organization's
business processes
• a unified view of the business
• customizability
• strong reporting and analytics features
that aid in decision-making.
Disadvantages
• High purchase and implementation
costs, including buying the software
itself and the underlying infrastructure,
labor costs of internal IT employees and
external consultants, the costs of
training employees and the residual
costs of software maintenance and
periodic upgrades; and
• The complexity of the system, which
means implementations can take several
years.

procurement and logistics.
