A Note on SAP AG: 1999

Over the past 15 years SAP AG has become the fourth largest independent software company in the world. This ranking was achieved largely by word of mouth and with very little advertising. A brief history and update on SAP up to 1998 is provided in this note. It includes short descriptions of the software, sales, market, customers - globally and in Canada, SAPs partners, etc. The purpose is to introduce the concept of enterprise wide systems and enterprise resource planning, using SAP as an example.
