SAP AG is a German multinational software corporation that makes enterprise software to manage business operations and customer relations. It is headquartered in Walldorf, Germany. The company's best-known software products are its enterprise resource planning application systems and management (SAP ERP), its enterprise data warehouse product – SAP Business Warehouse (SAP BW), SAP Business Objects software and, most recently, Sybase mobile products and in-memory computing appliance SAP HANA. SAP is one of the largest software companies in the world.
When Xerox decided to exit the computer industry, they asked IBM to migrate their business systems to IBM technology. As part of IBM's compensation for the migration, IBM was given the rights to the SDS/ SAPE software.
Five German IBM engineers were working in an enterprise wide system based in this software, when they were told that it wouldn’t be developped any further. Rather than abandoning the project, they decided to leave IBM and start a company on their own.
In 1972, they founded Systemanalyse und Programmentwicklung ("System Analysis and Program Development") as a private partnership.
In 1973, their first commercial product was launched. The SAP R/1, as it was called, offered a common system for multiple tasks. This permitted the use of a centralized data storage, improving the maintenance of data.
In 1979, SAP launched SAP R/2, expanding the capabilities of the system to other areas, such as material management and production planning.
SAP developed and released several versions of R/3 in 1992 through 1995. By the mid-1990s, SAP followed the trend from mainframe computing to client/ server architectures. The development of SAP’s internet strategy with mySAP.com redesigned the concept of business processes (integration via Internet).
SAP was awarded Industry Week’s Best Managed Companies in 1999.
