HISTOR
   Y
2.1 History
 SAP AG was founded in 1972 by five German engineers with

  IBM in Weinheim, Germany;

 Founders—

   – Hasso Plattner,

   – Dietmar Hopp,

   – Klaus Tschira,

   – Hans Werner Hector
2.2 History
 When an IBM client asked IBM to provide enterprise-wide

  software to run on its mainframe

 The five began writing the program only to be told the

  assignment was being transferred to another unit

 Rather than abandon the project altogether, they left IBM and

  founded SAP
2.3 History
 Without the benefit of loans from banks, venture capitalists, or the
  German government, SAP began fashioning its software business
  gradually through the cash flow generated by an growing stable of
  customers
 Development of R/1:
     Working at night on borrowed computers, Plattner and
      colleagues built SAP's client list, beginning with a German
      subsidiary of the global chemical company ICI and later
      adding Siemens and BMW.
2.4 History
 R/2 in the Late 1970s
    In 1978 SAP began developing, and the following year
     released, R/2 (R for "real-time"), a mainframe-
     based, standard business software suite modules for:
    Accounting,
    Sales and Distribution
    Production
    Enabled customers to consolidate their financial and
     operational data into a single database and reducing costs
2.5 History
 Introduction of R/3 in the 1990s
    R/3 had been launched with the expectation that it would
     complement R/2's multinational-oriented niche by
     extending SAP's reach into the mid-sized, less mainframe-
     dominated business software market
    R/3's release coincided with a growing trend toward
     corporate downsizing, and even SAP's largest customers
     began eyeing R/3 as a less labour-intensive replacement
     for R/2
    As a result, in the space of one year (1992-93), the
     percentage of SAP America's total revenue generated by
     R/3 catapulted from five to 80 percent
    R/2's status as SAP's flagship product dwindled from 95
     percent of revenues to only 20 percent.
2.6 History
 Foreign Markets in the 1990s
    SAP's sales to German companies had fallen to 37%
    North American sales accounted for one-third of all
     revenues;
    Asia-Pacific market was expected to reach the same level
     by the year 2000.
    In 1996 SAP relocated most of its marketing operation to
     its Wayne, Pennsylvania, complex.
    Between 1992 and 1996, it opened subsidiaries in South
     Africa, Malaysia, Japan, the Czech
     Republic, Russia, China, and Mexico among others
    R/3 was available in 14 foreign languages including
     Russian, Mandarin Chinese, and Thai.
Current
3.1 Current
 Today SAP is
    The 3rd largest independent software supplier in the world
    12 million users,
    121,000 installations worldwide,
    More than 1,500 SAP partners, over 25 industry-specific business
     solutions, and more than
    41,200 customers in 120 countries.
    The firm is now committed to moving towards a full service oriented
     architecture (SOA) with underlying Net weaver integration platform
     and is aiming to move down into the mid-market user base with its
     long-awaited software as a service (SaaS) push through its recent
     Business Bydesign announcement.

Competitors
5.1 Competitors
 SAP vs Oracle:

   23rd Nov’10: Oracle sued SAP, alleging that SAP had
    engaged in copyright infringement by downloading
    thousands of copyrighted documents and programs from
    Oracle's Customer Connection website.

   SAP admitted that its subsidiary Tomorrow Now had
    infringed Oracle's copyrights and a jury awarded Oracle
    record-high damages in the amount of $1.3 billion.
5.2 Competitors
 SAP vs Oracle (Continued)

   The rivalry is heating up even more following SAP CTO
    Vishal Sikka’s recent comments that SAP plans to support
    its flagship Business Suite ERP software on its HANA in-
    memory database platform by the end of 2012.

   Industry observers see this as a move to entice companies
    to choose HANA over Oracle databases.

  • 10. 2.2 History  When an IBM client asked IBM to provide enterprise-wide software to run on its mainframe  The five began writing the program only to be told the assignment was being transferred to another unit  Rather than abandon the project altogether, they left IBM and founded SAP
  • 11. 2.3 History  Without the benefit of loans from banks, venture capitalists, or the German government, SAP began fashioning its software business gradually through the cash flow generated by an growing stable of customers  Development of R/1:  Working at night on borrowed computers, Plattner and colleagues built SAP's client list, beginning with a German subsidiary of the global chemical company ICI and later adding Siemens and BMW.
  • 12. 2.4 History  R/2 in the Late 1970s  In 1978 SAP began developing, and the following year released, R/2 (R for "real-time"), a mainframe- based, standard business software suite modules for:  Accounting,  Sales and Distribution  Production  Enabled customers to consolidate their financial and operational data into a single database and reducing costs
  • 13. 2.5 History  Introduction of R/3 in the 1990s  R/3 had been launched with the expectation that it would complement R/2's multinational-oriented niche by extending SAP's reach into the mid-sized, less mainframe- dominated business software market  R/3's release coincided with a growing trend toward corporate downsizing, and even SAP's largest customers began eyeing R/3 as a less labour-intensive replacement for R/2  As a result, in the space of one year (1992-93), the percentage of SAP America's total revenue generated by R/3 catapulted from five to 80 percent  R/2's status as SAP's flagship product dwindled from 95 percent of revenues to only 20 percent.

  • 23. 5.1 Competitors  SAP vs Oracle:  23rd Nov’10: Oracle sued SAP, alleging that SAP had engaged in copyright infringement by downloading thousands of copyrighted documents and programs from Oracle's Customer Connection website.  SAP admitted that its subsidiary Tomorrow Now had infringed Oracle's copyrights and a jury awarded Oracle record-high damages in the amount of $1.3 billion.
  • 24. 5.2 Competitors  SAP vs Oracle (Continued)  The rivalry is heating up even more following SAP CTO Vishal Sikka’s recent comments that SAP plans to support its flagship Business Suite ERP software on its HANA in- memory database platform by the end of 2012.  Industry observers see this as a move to entice companies to choose HANA over Oracle databases.
