SAP is the ultimate B2B and turning into saas, should be the wet dream of every dev who wants to build his own saas.

  Until you know the internals of SAP ;). They have/had an own programming language (ABAP) which is the worst combination of BASIC and SQL you could imagine. Do not know the status in 2020, 2007 it was still a combination of ABAP and Java. Interestingly, the source code of SAP is openly readable (once you have their software installed).

    Nope still the same in 2020 ... a knowledge of German is usefull as well for the code to make any sense.

    SAP is effectively open source, IIRC there were/still are options to install local development stacks for free... but without an army of experienced consultants it's gonna be useless for you and they won't touch a pirated/cloned system with a 10 feet pole.

      open source implies license. It is "source open".
