User Reviews of SAP ERP

SAP ERP brought some unique innovations in terms of data and processes, a “single truth” for management, and compliance with regulations.

The SAP ERP software is flexible and rich for every industry. It’s very complex and runs mission critical businesses all over the world, and can keep pace with the latest user experiences such as on an iPad.

Some of SAP’s new products are very sleek and usable while others take a bit longer to get there. It may seem a bit expensive, but it’s good value for what you get.

Customers of SAP ERP probably only use 5% of it’s potential and it can last a business for decades, which shows how much value it can provide.
