What Others Say about SAP ERP
- SAP ERP – Epinions.com
“SAP as an absolutely astounding computer system. SAP enables a company to chuck out their multiple and outdated main frame (legacy) systems and have everyone working and looking at the same information, real time. SAP gets rid of poor inefficiency because many departments systems did not talk to each other, and now they do. Therefore people are able to talk to each other as well. No hiding information! Everyone works together! Wow! That’s especially amazing in companies with over 100, 000 employees.”
