SAP

We are pleased to announce, that we have been fortunate to bring an expert on board in SAP. Ok we lured this European SAP whiz/expert to NZ, with promises of wine and great weather (in wellington) , well we did manage the wine part but the weather ummmmm not so much.

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.
