SAP ERPisenterprise resource planning

software developed by the German company
SAP SE.
SAP ERP incorporates the key business functions
of an organization.
The latest version (SAP ERP 6.0) was made
available in 2006.
The most recent Enhancement Package (EHP8)
for SAP ERP 6.0 was released in 2016.
WHY SAP
The major advantages of sap erp, is the Highly
integration with other modules of business,
which is not there in other Software.
In other software, you need to have different
software's for different module.E.G: BAAN,
ORACLE MANUFACTURING, etc.
There, integration becomes the issue, not all
software support some integration's except for
sap, so sap is clear winner .
 Vast array of modules, with huge spectrum of
functionalities which ARE NOT PROVIDED by
other ERP applications.
Specific functionalities which are core
competencies of SAP while they are not available
in other ERP applications, makes it an obvious
choice for some specific industries. E.g. Variant
configuration and Automobile industry.
SAP knowing the demand for special processes
for each industry has come up with industry
specific solutions which are unheard of from
other applications.
.
 Not only on the functionality side, but also on the
system architecture and landscape SAP is
innovating day by day from R2 to R3 to ECC to
SOA, to adopt to the business needs, thus adding
immense value to the customers.
SAP also gets complimented by most ubiquitous
office applications of MS namely MSWord.
Also SAP's market share gives some certainty of
business and hence it is much better than any
other smaller ERP applications in terms of career
prospects
