Thank you for this link. It is highly informative for someone who is not familiar with SAP or enterprise management.
I searched on Google, "What is SAP?" Here are the top three links as of today:
1) https://www.sap.com https://www.sap.com
2) https://www.guru99.com/what-is-sap-definition-of-sap-erp-software.html https://www.guru99.com/what-is-sap-definition-of-sap-erp-sof...
3) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAP_ERP https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAP_ERP
What do you notice among the top three links? All of them are mostly talking from business-speak perspective. For a software engineer learning about SAP for the first time, all I want to know is what does SAP literally do? The top three links do not have screenshots of the software, do not simply explain the technical capabilities of SAP, and do not explain how SAP differs from competing products.
Although I never interact with SAP daily, I have always been curious about what it does, but did not want to waste a lot of time on Google searching for a real explanation. Hence, to have a section like "What ERP software actually looks like" in the parent link fulfills a certain desire to know SAP that I have had in the back of my mind.
To some extent, I can blame laziness on my part—in that I have not researched enough about SAP, but why should it be this hard for a software engineer to learn about another piece of software? This is why sometimes, it is better to have a neutral party (non-SAP affiliated) to explain a product, rather than SAP itself.
