The company's main product is SAP ERP. The current version is SAP ERP 6.0 and is part of the SAP Business Suite. Its previous name was R/3. The "R" of SAP R/3 stood for realtime – even though it is not a realtime solution. The number 3 related to the 3-tier architecture:database, application server and client (SAPgui). R/2, which ran on a Mainframe architecture, was the predecessor of R/3. Before R/2 came System RF, later dubbed R/1. SAP ECC is one of five enterprise applications in SAP's Business Suite. The other four applications are: . Customer Relationship Management (CRM) – helps companies acquire and retain customers, gain marketing and customer insight . Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) – helps manufacturers with product-related information . Supply Chain Management (SCM) – helps companies with the process of resourcing its manufacturing and service processes . Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) – enables companies to procure from suppliers Other major product offerings include: the NetWeaver platform, Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) solutions, Duet (joint offering with Microsoft), Performance Management solutions and RFID. SAP offers SOA capabilities (calling it Enterprise SOA) in the form of web services that are wrapped around its applications. While its original products were typically used by Fortune 500 companies[citation needed], SAP now actively targets small and medium sized enterprises (SME) with its SAP Business One and SAP Business All-in-One. On 19 September 2007 SAP announced a new product named SAP Business ByDesign. SAP Business ByDesign is a software as a service (SaaS) offering, and provides a fully integrated enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution, On Demand. SAP Business ByDesign was previously known under the code name "A1S".[24] In October 2007, SAP AG announced the friendly takeover of Business Objects. This acquisition expanded SAP's Product Suite of Business Intelligence (BI) solutions and increased the customer installed base to 89,000.[25] In February 2009 SAP AG, which invested in Coghead, purchased the start-up’s intellectual property. SAP will only be using the company’s technology as an internal resource and has no plans to offer Coghead’s products to its customers.[26] In May 2010 SAP AG announced that it is buying the database software maker Sybase for US$ 5.8 billion in cash.[27] The deal closed at the end of July 2010. Sybase will continue to run as a separate, independent unit but will be leveraged across the other SAP areas. As of July 2010 TechniData is a 100% subsidiary of SAP AG.[28] SAP Enterprise Learning (environment) is an enhancement of the previous version of the learning management system, SAP Learning Solution 600. Apart from the features in SAP Learning Solution 600, SAP Enterprise Learning (environment) contains a virtual learning room feature powered by Adobe Connect.[29] SAP officials say there are over 100,600 SAP installations serving more than 41,200 companies in more than 25 industries in more than 120 countries.[30] An example installation can be experienced in the SAP Learning on Demand Portal. SAP uses this for delivering SAP Online training as a Learning on Demand offering. Some of this content is available as free e-learning, e.g. as e-books or simulations. SAP Press has announced a book on SAP Enterprise Learning. This book is available since June 2009.[31] ERP Services provided by SAP: With the SAP ERP Corporate Services solution, your company can manage real estate; enterprise assets; project portfolios; corporate travel; environment, health, and safety compliance; quality; and global trade services more effectively.

  • The Guide to ERP Integrations | Handshake
    THE ERP INTEGRATION HANDBOOK Key integration considerations for wholesale distributors looking to connect their ERP systems with third party software solutions. TABLE OF CONTENTS: Introduction: Supplementing ERP Systems with Best-of Breed Solutions 2 SAP 3 Oracle 7 Microsoft Dynamics 11 Sage 15 NetSuite 19 A Note on Integrations for QuickBooks & Xero 24 Conclusion 25 | The ERP Integration Handbook | www.handshake.com 1 Ten years ago, if any wholesale INTRODUCTION: distributor were asked, “What technology are you running your SUPPLEMENTING business on?” they would almost certainly have given the name of ERP SYSTEMS WITH their Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, and the BEST-OF-BREED conversation would have ended there. But while ERP systems SOLUTIONS have long been touted as “all in one” solutions, companies are increasingly beginning to think about how new classes of software can impact their operations––and profits. Indeed, with the incredibly wide range of both cloud and on-premise software solutions available to companies today, the enterprise technology landscape is not as clear-cut as it was years ago. Wholesale distributors are learning how they can supplement existing legacy systems with third party best-of-breed Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions like B2B eCommerce platforms, mobile sales order management software, inventory management software, and more. These purpose-built solutions are allowing countless businesses to reduce costs and take advantage of shorter implementation cycles and quicker returns on investment. Now the challenge lies in integrating best-of-breed solutions with ERP systems to maximize ROI across all platforms. While ERP software ecosystems can be extremely complex, gaining an understanding of the options and approaches available for integration is the first step towards a solid integration strategy.

  • Market Comparison Report
    Eval-Source Market Comparison Report Which ERP Architecture Best Handles Business Change? Market Comparison Report Which ERP Architecture Best Handles Business Change? Which ERP Architectures Best Handle Business Change? Business lives in a constant state of flux, it’s the new norm. Demanding consumers, new revenue sources, and regular organizational change are a few of the wrenches that can turn a business upside down. Successful companies respond fast, adapt, and not only remain profitable, but thrive. Others are swallowed up by the change and fail. The winners rely on a flexible software infrastructure that has the capabilities to adopt to changing business practices. The right infrastructure must be business friendly and adapt swiftly to change with little IT intervention. These factors have become increasingly more important for organizations when evaluating enterprise software, as they greatly affect the total cost of ownership (TCO) and (ROI). People-centric, service-oriented businesses (such as technology services firms, management consultants, architectural/engineering firms, non-profit organizations, education/research institutions and government services) are especially affected by change, much more than their manufacturing/product-centric counter- parts. They are generally highly dynamic and complex organizations faced with such factors as governmental and regulatory compliance mandates, reorganizations and restructuring, mergers and acquisitions, business process change and financial management-driven change. Service businesses need enterprise resource planning (ERP) solutions that minimize the costs and disruptions of change, but most ERPs accommodate technology change more readily than business change. Announcements of most ERP vendors are focused on supporting new mobile device options, cloud architectures, overall technology platform and software interoperability.
