SAP's Employees
SAP's distinctive atmosphere hits you the moment you arrive. Applicants that visit SAP for the first time
soon see why the company is so popular.

The SAP culture offers a large amount of personal freedom. This freedom motivates and inspires
employees to develop and realize their ideas. The lack of bureaucratic red tape and hierarchical
restrictions allows information to quickly get to where it needs to be.

SAP employees know they need to be able to react flexibly to changes, and their knowledge always has
to be up to date. This mindset is characteristic of SAP employees. Reference customers are customers
who have implemented SAP solutions successfully and are now prepared to pass on their experience of
the implementation project and production operation. This exchange of information takes place through
visits to reference customers, telephone calls, presentations, and interviews.

SAP's software partner program provides software providers with standard, defined interfaces.

 Lesson: Product Overview
Products
History of Enterprise Resource Planning Systems
In the 1970s, the concept of an enterprise resource planning system did not exist. With its R/1 system,
SAP developed a software product that handled process data in real time and saved it to a central
database. This meant that companies could access their own data quickly and have a high level of
control and transparency. In the 1980s, these systems came to be known as standard ERP systems.

In the 1990s, the Internet began to grow rapidly. New companies developed new applications for the
Internet and the «new economy» was born. These firms became known as «dotcom» companies. They
often had a small number of employees and had an Internet presence only.

The market changed due to the growth of the Internet. Planning data from business partners was used
to optimize companies' supply chains. Sales orders were not only entered directly in the ERP system, but
also in the field by field service employees using mobile devices. Irrespective of the Internet,
comprehensive accounting tools had also become necessary for companies' financial data.

Data was no longer simply stored in a database, as was the case in an ERP system.

Product Overview
SAP provides scalable products that can be adjusted to the size and constantly changing processes of a
company. The applications provide users with consistent results throughout the entire company
network and give your company the flexibility needed in today's dynamic market situations. It consists
of a number of different products that enable cross-company processes. MySAP ERP encompasses all
these vital business processes within a company and provides functions for both corporate headquarters
and small subsidiaries.

Every company can benefit from mySAP ERP. All software has to be adapted to the specific company. A
small company with few employees and relatively stable processes can use preconfigured SAP systems.

mySAP Solutions

has its own focus area and provides functions to map this area in a flexible

and comprehensive way. All solutions are based on SAP NetWeaver

technology.
Solutions and Components
mySAP solutions describe processes and functions from a process point of view.

Solutions are SAP's products seen from the point of view of the customer, with an outside-in focus on
company processes. Components are not the actual company solutions, simply the technical building
blocks. To differentiate between solutions and components, solutions have the prefix mySAP and
components -- the detailed view – have the prefix SAP. For example, mySAP Customer Relationship
Management is the solution that the customer implements.
