SAP’s software forms a company’s nerve centre. Its enterprise resource planning software integrates back-office functions such as analytics, accounting, distribution and human resources, and comes in on-premises and cloud-linked forms. While the sale and servicing of its legacy on-premises offering brings in the majority of the company’s revenue, SAP is going all-in on cloud computing and the digitalization of business with the release of S/4HANA in 2015 as an alternative to its existing SAP Business Suite. The company serves over 300,000 customers in 25 different industries across 190 countries.
