Answer 2

Great question. I work with SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC), so I’m happy to give you a clear overview.

What is SAP?
SAP is one of the world’s leading software companies for business applications. SAP develops systems that help companies manage their processes — from finance and sales to supply chain, HR and production.

The name SAP originally stood for “Systeme, Anwendungen und Produkte in der Datenverarbeitung” (German for Systems, Applications, and Products in Data Processing).

What is ERP?
ERP stands for Enterprise Resource Planning. It refers to software that integrates all core business functions into a single system — so that data and workflows are consistent across departments.

A good ERP system lets different teams (like finance, logistics, HR, and sales) work together using shared data and real-time insights.

So how do SAP and ERP fit together?
SAP makes ERP software — it’s what the company is best known for. SAP’s ERP systems are used by businesses of all sizes to manage everything from inventory to invoicing in a centralized, integrated way.

What do I do with SAP?
I work with SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) https://titecon.de/sap-analytics-cloud/ — a modern tool that helps companies analyze their business data, build dashboards, and make better decisions based on what’s really happening in their systems, including ERP data.
