SAP, a leading software manufacturer globally, develops solutions that facilitate effective data processing and information flow among organizations. Established in 1972, the company started under the name System Analysis Program Development (Systemanalyse Programmentwicklung) and later abbreviated to SAP. Since then, it has transformed from a small venture into a multinational corporation with over 100,000 employees worldwide.
SAP pioneered the global standard for enterprise resource planning (ERP) software by introducing the original SAP R/2 and SAP R/3 software. Today, SAP S/4HANA elevates ERP to the next level with the ability to process large amounts of data using in-memory computing.
