SAP was the first to establish a global standard for enterprise resource planning (ERP) software. In SAP’s second-quarter earnings call for 2022, the organization announced a 34% jump in cloud revenue, 24% at constant currencies, making it SAP’s largest revenue stream.

SAP allows businesses to move to the next level through in-memory computing to process large volumes of data while supporting advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML).

Continuing its role as a pioneer, SAP has branched out into several offerings, each designed to effectively manage business processes through solutions that enable smart data processing and information flow across organizations.

MAJOR OFFERINGS OF SAP 

RISE with SAP

As a pioneer, SAP has a long history of implementing simpler and more effective workflows into various offerings through constant updates. RISE with SAP helps companies to start with Cloud SAP solutions. With accelerated cloud adoption, RISE with SAP eliminates the guesswork and piecemeal license purchases out of enterprise planning. It provides customers with numerous tools; therefore, RISE with SAP is highly beneficial for companies with smaller IT teams, technical expertise, or budgets.

SAP Analytics Cloud

SAP Analytics Cloud is a robust analytics platform that allows enterprises to make smarter decisions in real time. The management can optimize resources across various departments and processes through real-time insights. With intuitive self-service analytics, SAP helps enterprises leverage various datasets across the organization to furnish valuable insights. Additionally, SAP Analytics Cloud enables interactive visualizations and stories by sifting through data, regardless of volume. This allows organizations to simulate various scenarios and envision the impact of decisions to guarantee better business outcomes.

SAP ERP

SAP has worked with enterprises of varying sizes across industries and geographies for nearly five decades to operate at their best with its ERP offerings. SAP’s ERP offerings help enterprises automate end-to-end processes to run mission-critical operations from a centralized platform. Moving away from legacy systems is only the start. Digital transformations require a strong core to support your journey with minimal business disruptions. SAP’s ERP offerings help enterprises leverage industry capabilities built on best practices to reimagine their business and accelerate innovation.

SAP SuccessFactors

The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the significance of employee experience. Traditional HR practices are not going to cut it anymore. It is necessary to create engaging experiences that help employees perform at their best. SAP SuccessFactors is part of the Human Experience Management Suite (SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite). This offers customized experiences and strategic solutions that empower employees to reach their potential. Further, by integrating SAP SuccessFactors solutions with other solutions, organizations can facilitate enterprise-wide processes, experiences, and insights.
