HOME > Why SAP?
The inception of SAP was as small software with the backing of just one customer in Germany by a set of visionary entrepreneurs in 1972. They started it with the vision of developing software that can process data in real-time, unlike overnight batch jobs used in earlier systems.
After decades of stellar existence as the leading global provider of enterprise application software, SAP provides products and services to customers in more than 190 countries. Nine out of ten Fortune 500 companies have implemented SAP, making it the choice of industry leaders.
Backed by strong growth trends in innovations such as SAP HANA, global acquisitions in database, mobility, and cloud computing, and rising demand from organizations worldwide, SAP continues to expand its global footprint.
