What does SAP do?

As the child of someone who worked for SAP directly and now continues to work with them at another company, you would think I would have some idea of what it does.  But this was not the case.  I had absolutely no idea what SAP stands for, much less what it was/does. 

Therefore, this internship has provided me with a wonderful opportunity to broaden my horizons.  When asked where I worked and what the company, Titan Consulting, did, I would tell the questioner that they found SAP consultants.  Then they would generally ask me what SAP was.  And I had no answer.  I immediately went home and asked my father what SAP was.  I found out it was a software that basically runs companies, keeps up with all the numbers, things like that.  But that wasn’t enough for me.  I got on my computer and signed up for Google Alerts.  Anything with SAP in the title was immediately sent to me.  And was much more helpful than I assumed it would be.  Seeing as SAP is a complex software system, the public seems to have come up with ways that even us interns can understand it.  I can’t explain it, but I understand it.

So if you want to know more about SAP and what it does or can do for your business, I suggest signing up for Google Alert for anything SAP.

And by the way, SAP stands for Systeme, Anwendungen und Produkte in der Datenverarbeitung in its native German or Systems, Applications, and Products in plain English.
