| What is SAP? |
| |
SAP, started in 1972 by five former IBM employees in Mannheim, Germany, states that it is the world's largest inter-enterprise software company and the world's fourth-largest independent software supplier, overall.
The original name for SAP was German: Systeme, Anwendungen, Produkte, German for "Systems Applications and Products." The original SAP idea was to provide customers with the ability to interact with a common corporate database for a comprehensive range of applications. Gradually, the applications have been assembled and today many corporations, including IBM and Microsoft, are using SAP products to run their own businesses.
SAP applications, built around their latest R/3 system, provide the capability to manage financial, asset, and cost accounting, production operations and materials, personnel, plants, and archived documents. The R/3 system runs on a number of platforms including Windows 2003 and uses the client/server model. |
| |
| What is R/3? |
| |
R/3 is the comprehensive set of integrated business applications from SAP. R/3 replaced an earlier system, R/2, which is still in use. R/3 uses the client/server model and provides the ability to store, retrieve, analyze, and process in many ways corporate data for financial analysis, production operation, human resource management, and most other business processes. |
| |
| What are the different modules in R/3? |
| |
The modules in R/3 are:
- AM Asset Management
- CO Controlling
- FI Financial Accounting
- HR Human Resources
- IS Industry Specific Solutions
- PM Plant Maintenance
- PP Production Planning
- PS Project System
- QM Quality Management
- SD Sales and Distribution
- MM Materials Management
- WF Business WorkFlow
It takes a lot of practice to become a good consultant in any one of the modules. Please contact our expert consultants to discuss which module is most suitable for you. |
