SAP has the size and the power to create new markets. Creating new markets is an exciting opportunity for every company to differentiate from competitors and to be leading in a new market. In the recent years, SAP has proven its success in creating new markets when it established strategic moves for Business Process Platforms (BPP) and for applications running on applications. Current versions of SAP are more modular and therefore deployable as either stand-alone process or as processes integrating single aspects of a supply chain or business.

To make it more amenable to partial and controlled implementations, architectural revisions are made in SAP. This modular structure increases competitive advantage, providing stand-alone components and single-component update capabilities that can be easily deployed. This somehow decreases the uncertainty on the package attractiveness with the help of its marketing teams to target individual components. In this regard, an SAP consulting company provides the needed assistance for software support depending on the SAP module being used by the clients.

In the SAP ecosystem, there are three key players that benefit from the effective knowledge management, the client, the vendor and the implementation partner. Each of the players has different goals and responsibilities from each other to attain a unified objective of benefiting from the use of SAP. The implementation partner can also be an SAP consulting company, seeking to streamline implementation and be able to share savings with the client. For the vendor, SAP, the negative perceptions on the implementation timeline and cost associated with it are being addressed to improve client support and satisfaction. The cost reduction and increased client benefits are the aims of both vendor and consultants in line with the client benefiting from better-planned lifecycle management and more effective implementation outcomes.

An SAP consulting company always aims to add value to their clients of being able to run their operations with the use of integrated software applications customized for their use. Its presence is embedded in a client’s operating structure ranging from purchasing to distribution and customer service, integrating different systems and different functions. SAP’s early international approach is considered innovative considering the size of the German market in comparison to the US market when it first went international in its operations. Somehow, its success can be attributed to its decision to forge alliances with consultancy firms, maintained and managed at a consistency and independence from one another.

Up to present, it has maintained its partners’ satisfaction while opening up new business opportunities for them. With these experiences, SAP has proven that innovation, supported by a good organizational structure, linked up to customer service, pays off and that it can become a sustained driver of corporate growth. To increase the users’ acceptance of the integrated system, SAP is now employing a new development paradigm of getting customers and users directly involved in the system development process. Throughout the process, SAP continues to remain focused and concentrated on designing better products that promotes reusability. Doing so results in shorter learning curve and less training for SAP users who are already familiar with the products.
