What is SAP Software?
SAP ERP, or SAP Enterprise Resource Planning, is a software program that helps businesses manage their resources and operations. The program is designed to streamline business processes and improve efficiency. SAP Software was first released in 1992 and has since become one of the most popular enterprise resource planning programs on the market. SAP ERP is used by businesses of all sizes, in a variety of industries.
SAP ERP integrates all aspects of a business, including finance, accounting, manufacturing, sales, and customer service. The program provides a complete view of a company’s operations and helps businesses make better decisions. The SAP Program can be deployed on-premise (where you work) or in the cloud (off premise). The SAP program is available in a number of different languages so you can be sure it will be properly integrated for your needs.
What are the uses for SAP software and why are they required?

Decentralized Systems
Centralized Systems (SAP ERP's)
A Decentralized system is a network of computers that are not all under the same control. They can be spread out across different locations and can be owned by different organizations. In a decentralized SAP system, the data is distributed across different nodes in the network. Each node has its own copy of the data and can make changes to that data. The changes made at one node are then propagated to the other nodes in the network. So, data is maintained locally at the individual departments.
Drawbacks to using a Decentralized system:
- Data can become inconsistent because each node has its own copy of the data.
- If one node goes down, the other nodes in the network will not be able to access the data.
- Departments work inefficiently together taking time and lowering customer satisfaction.
In a centralized system, there is only one copy of the data. All the nodes in the network access that central copy of the data. So, if one node goes down, the other nodes will still be able to access the data.
Advantages to using Centralized systems:
- Data is consistent across all nodes because there is only one copy of the data.
- If one node goes down, the other nodes in the network will still be able to access the data.
- Departments work together more efficiently because they are all using the same data. This leads to improved customer satisfaction.
