Reasons for SAP's Success.

There might be several other reasons for SAP's success and Domination in the ERP market, this particular blogs are my views on SAP's tremendous success in the ERP Market.

1)  Track Record
  The first and foremost reason is their good track record for the support services that SAP has, there might be a lot of vendor who might be a new player in the market or even an existing large player. No one has a good track record like SAP. for the small players, there is no guaranty that they will survive for next 5 years. This is a key factor which influences the Corporates decision making. In fact corporates will never like to buy a solution offered by companies with less than 5 years of existence.

2) Focus and adaptability
As we all know that SAP's primary focus is on ERP and it does not have any other vested interest in other areas as Oracle has in Database and Microsoft has it in other range of products. Other important factor is that it can be implemented on most of the OS and Database systems available in the market.

3) SAP Strong Partnership
Over the years SAP has build a strong partnership space. who contributes heavily to the success of SAP's ERP product in many domains.

4) Truly Global and Process Centric Approach
SAP's design is truly Global, means, the SAP product can be implemented in any country seamlessly and it can be integrated with many other existing software landscape. Allows easier global integration (barriers of currency exchange rates, language, and culture can be bridged easily).

5)Reducing Redundancy
SAP's can able to maintain centralized information thus reducing the redundancy of the information that gets stored in the Databases.

There are many more advantages of using the SAP products, the above are few most important of them in my View.
