SAP explained simply

SAP – Where does the term come from?

In 1972, five IBM employees quit their jobs and set up their own company in Walldorf, Baden-Württemberg. The idea: A real-time digital solution for payroll accounting, which is supposed to replace the then common punch card system forever. This is the starting signal for system analysis and program development GbR – abbreviation SAP.

As a result, the products are well received by the market, which leads to steady growth and increasing sales. Due to the success one dares in 1988 the IPO. In the 1990s, the company managed to increase its turnover tenfold. This is partly due to the introduction of SAP R/3, which lays the foundation for today’s SAP products.

After the turn of the millennium, SAP acquired numerous well-known companies such as TechniData, Success Factors and Concur Technologies. Today, more than 91,000 employees work for the company, which generates an annual turnover of more than 22 billion dollars.

SAP is the most valuable company in Germany,according to a study by the accounting firm PwC. According to this definition, a market value of more than 100 billion euros means number one in 2018, ahead of Siemens. In addition to Microsoft, IBM, Google and Oracle, the Walldorfers are among the largest software manufacturers in the world.

SAP ERP enables the management and presentation of all business processes within a system, from accounting to controlling, to production and warehousing.

Around 335,000 customers worldwide rely on the Walldorf-based group’s technology, including global players such as Coca Cola, Gazprom and Siemens. SAP SE is considered the largest software manufacturer in Europe and is one of the most influential companies in the world.

The system has become the cross-industry software standard and around 70 percent of the world’s economic output is via SAP ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning).

In order to represent the interests of users, their own associations were set up, so-called user groups.

All-in-one ERP solution for all company sizes

Why it’s worth switching to an SAP system

The company from Walldorf in Baden-Württemberg is the market leader for ERP software and there are numerous reasons for this. Sap offers optimal support for all business processes for small and medium-sized enterprises as well as for corporations with the most important SAP applications SAP Business Suite and S/4 Hana. Additional SAP solutions for Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), Supply Chain Management (SCM) and Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) complete the portfolio.

By implementing a single standard software, many operations can be automated and manual input reduced to a minimum. In addition to the main product SAP ERP, which primarily serves enterprise resource planning, the company has developed additional modules over the years to cover other divisions and processes.

Sap Ariba Supplier Risk, for example, is an innovative supplier management program, while marketing activities can be captured very well with SAP Marketing Cloud. The provider also provides a special tool for human resources with SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central.

Due to the wide range of functions, many companies have difficulty exploiting the full potential of their solution. Often the time and know-how to implement the system correctly is lacking.

We at Munich Enterprise solve this problem with an extensive consulting offer. On request, we can help you adapt the different modules to your requirements.

Among other things, we use the ABAP component. This is an in-house programming language of SAP, which enables individual coding and functional enhancements.

In addition, we support our customers with useful add-ons to supplement and expand the technical capabilities of SAP software. SAP Mail is particularly noteworthy here, as it allows you to manage and send e-mails from within the SAP system.
