SAP FOR E-BUSINESS SOLUTIONS


8/25

SAP Products empower companies of all sizes and all industry sectors torespond quickly and decisively to dynamic market conditions, helpingbusinesses achieve and maintain a competitive advantage

.

On April 1, 1972 five former IBM employees founded SAP as SystemsAnalysis and Program Development in, Germany

.Their vision was to develop and market standard enterprise software whichwould integrate all business processes.

The idea came to them through their work as systems consultants for IBM whenthey noticed that client after client was developing the same, or very similar,computer programs.

The second part of their vision was that data should be processed interactively inreal-time, and the computer screen should become the focal point of dataprocessing.
