ERP SOFTWARE FROM SAP

A FOUNDATION TO EXECUTE YOUR BUSINESS STRATEGY

A sound foundation is necessary to compete and win in the global marketplace. The SAP ERP
application supports the essential functions of your business processes and operations efficiently and
are tailored to specific needs of your industry.

The SAP ERP application is an integrated enterprise resource planning (ERP) software manufactured

by SAP AG that targets business software requirements of midsize and large organizations in all
industries and sectors. It allows for open communication within and between all company functions.

SAP AG was founded by five former IBM employees in 1972 who wanted to create a real-time business
data system. The first name chosen for the company was not Systeme, Anwendungen und Produkte in
der Datenverarbeitung (German for "Systems, Applications and Products" or the acronym SAP) but
originally Systemanalyse und Programmentwicklung (in English, "Systems analysis and program
development").[1] It uses the concept of modules (individual programs that can be purchased, installed,
and run separately, but that all extract data from the common database). [2] SAP AG, the company that
provides the enterprise resource planning solution has upgraded the package and launched it as SAP
ERP Central Component (ECC) 6.0 in 2005. The purpose of positioning it as ECC is to enable SAP to
build and develop an environment of other products that can function upon the foundation of the central
component.

SAP ERP, an application included in SAP Business Suite software, delivers these solutions:

 SAP ERP Financials

 SAP ERP Human Capital Management
 SAP ERP Operations
 SAP ERP Corporate Services

For current customers, SAP enhancement packages now offer you the benefit of improving and extending
your SAP ERP software without the cost of major upgrades. For example, you can leverage SAP Master
Data Governance – delivered via an SAP enhancement package – to help govern financial master data
used in consolidation and operational chart of accounts.
