SAP

SAP builds enterprise applications and business AI that connect finance, procurement, human resources, supply chain, manufacturing, sustainability and customer experience, so that organisations can operate on unified data and act in real time. The company was founded in 1972 with the aim of creating standard software for real-time business processing, and it is headquartered in Walldorf, Germany, with operations in more than 150 countries.

The product portfolio is anchored by SAP S/4HANA, its flagship enterprise resource planning suite for running core business operations on unified data with real-time processing. SAP HANA, the in-memory database and data platform, underpins that processing. SAP Business Technology Platform is used to extend and integrate enterprise applications and to build business AI capabilities, while SuccessFactors covers human capital management, Analytics Cloud provides analytics and business intelligence, and Commerce Cloud supports e-commerce and customer experience. Business AI capabilities are embedded across the portfolio for enterprise decision-making.

Technical work spans enterprise software, business AI, in-memory computing, real-time business processing, analytics, cloud platform development, e-commerce technology, human capital management software, sustainability software and unified data platforms. SAP's stated focus is on simplifying complex processes, improving decisions and supporting digital transformation.
