A Guide to SAP and Its Uses for Businesses

What is SAP?

SAP is the market leader in ERP software and helps companies of all sizes. SAP is an abbreviation of Systems, Applications, and Products in data processing. It 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 organizations. It includes programs for all core business areas, such as procurement, production, materials management, sales, marketing, finance, and human resources (HR).

SAP S/4HANA (In memory and Cloud Computing)

SAP S/4HANA helps customers thrive in the New Digital Economy. We are now focused on eradicating complexity and running live with our in-memory database technology SAP HANA and cloud computing.

What does SAP do?

SAP helps companies and organizations of all sizes and industries run their businesses profitably, adapt continuously, and grow sustainably.

The company develops software solutions that are used by small businesses, midsize companies, and large corporations. Every business process can be mapped and designed with standard applications, industry solutions, platforms, and technologies. The software collects and processes data on one platform, from raw material purchasing to production and customer satisfaction. SAP solutions can be installed “on-premise” at a user’s location(s) or used from the cloud, helping companies analyze and efficiently design the entire value chain. SAP solutions can also be used to create forecasts, such as when a machine needs to be repaired or how revenue will develop in the next half year.

In addition, SAP helps customers seamlessly link operational data on business processes with experience data on emotional factors such as purchase experience and customer feedback. This enables companies to better understand and respond to their customers.
