Tab. 2.1) gründeten die Firma Systemanalyse und Programmentwicklung. Sie entwickelten Programme für die Lohnabrechnung und die Buchhaltung auf Groß- rechnern. Eingaben erfolgten nicht mehr mit Lochkarten sondern im Dialogbetrieb mit Tastatur und Bildschirm. Seit 1976 lautete der Firmenname SAP GmbH. Mit SAP R/2 entstand eine in Echtzeit arbeitende ERP-Software für den Einsatz auf Großrechnern. R/2 lief auf den Betriebssystemen MVS bzw. VSE von IBM und BS2000 von Siemens. Aus der SAP GmbH wurde im August 1988 die SAP Aktien- gesellschaft Systeme, Anwendungen und Produkte in der Datenverarbeitung.

  • From Inventing the Enterprise Software Sector to Helping the World Run Better
    From Inventing the Enterprise Software Sector to Helping the World Run Better 1972 THE EARLY YEARS On April 1, 1972, five former IBM employees – Dietmar Hopp, Hasso Plattner, Claus Wellenreuther, Klaus Tschira, and Hans-Werner Hector – started the company SystemAnalyse Programmentwicklung (System Analysis and Program Development). Their idea was to create standard enterprise software that integrated all business processes and enabled data processing in real time. SAP´s founders and employees worked closely with customers – often sitting side-by-side with employees in customers’ offices to learn their business needs and processes. By 1975, they had built applications for financial accounting (RF), invoice verification, and inventory management (RM). Some of their early customers were the nylon factory belonging to ICI in Östringen, Germany, Knoll, Burda, Linde, and Schott. The blend of real-time data processing, standardization, and integration were the basis for SAP’s transformation from a small German company into a global leader in business software. In 1979, the company started developing R/2, the second generation of its software. In 1980, SAP´s roughly 80 employees moved into their first own office building in Walldorf, Germany. 1987 1999 FROM R/3 TO GLOBAL PLAYER Even while R/2 was enjoying huge sales success and one year before SAP went public with an IPO in 1988 – the company’s managers were looking ahead to its third generation of software. The SAP R/3 success story began in 1992, with the client-server software smoothing the path to a globalized economy, turning SAP into a global player with subsidiaries and development centers across the world.
