Hi raman,

SAP is an integrated ERP (Enterprise Resource Planner) application. Why a company should go for it is to manage the 4 M's (Money, Material, Manufacturing, Machine) effectively.

The moment you decide to go in for SAP

-Find a Partner who can help you in Implement the System

-Place Order

-Place Order for the Hardware

-Buy Hardware & SAP application

-Install & Configuration shall be carried our by the Partner

-Training shall be given by the Partner

And then you use it effectively

Best of luck,

Bhumika

Hi Raman,

SAP is generally implemented by large scale companies which has many departments and branches. SAP contain huge number of functional modules than any other ERP in the market. Since SAP is a complete ERP software it will cover all the functional areas of any company.That's the reason it has more demand.

Hi raman,

SAP system comprises of a number of fully integrated modules, which cover virtually every aspect of the business. it is most popular ERP i.e. Enterprise Resource Planning package.

Reason for using this :

1.Numerous information systems, developed individually over time

2.Integrating the data becomes costly - time, money, resources

3.Inconsistencies and duplication of data

4.Lack of timely information

so an integrated system was the needed. ERP comprises of a commercial software package that promises the seamless integration of all the information flowing through the company such as financial, accounting, human resources, supply chain and customer information.

By using SAP , it hepls in various ways like :

1 All data is available in central database

2 Eliminates data redundancy

3 Data is updated and available real-time

4 One point entry of data

5 Best business practices inbuilt

6 Modular system

7 Can implement only required functions

8 Others can be easily integrated later

9 Transparency and Control to extent required

SAP defines and establishes aproper approach to Integrated Standard Business Software.

hope this information will hepl u in undestanding why SAP is needed and how it helps a company.
