SAP is an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system that helps businesses to manage and streamline business processes. The system enables different departments and locations of a company to share information with one another in real time for more effective resource usage. Enterprises that use ERP can easily identify risks and inefficiencies, can make better decisions more quickly because of added insight and visibility, and are more profitable because inefficiencies have been eliminated.
