Understanding SAP
“SAP” is a German company. The name is actually an abbreviation of a German Name [SAP Systemanalyse und Programmentwicklung] but in English its equivalent is “System Analysis and Program Development”. It was started by a few IBM engineers in 1972. The basic point was to create a standard application software for real-time data processing or more specifically a Standards Based ERP Software so that it focused on common requirements of any company. It’s initial release was a financial accounting system called R/1 and its was deployed on IBM servers with the DOS operating system. “R” in this context stands for “real-time”.
The SAP software evolved at a much wider scale, the company grew big with Business Process Automation focusing on Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP). Today SAP solutions support Manufacturing, Finance, Sales and almost any process in a business. After R/1, SAP introduced “New Dimension products” based on SAP’s own “Netweaver” technology.
