What is SAP?
SAP is a broad enterprise software vendor. SAP Cloud ERP covers operational processes such as finance, supply chain and procurement. Analytics sits elsewhere in the SAP portfolio and can support those processes, but an SAP company profile should not be presented as a standalone BI product.

SAPERP & Business OperationsEnterprise applications anchored in core operations
Key capabilities
- Cloud ERP: Run integrated finance and operational processes using the relevant SAP application.
- Business technology: Connect data, integration and application development services where needed.
- Portfolio scope: Compare specific products and implementation responsibilities rather than the brand alone.
Where SAP fits
Cloud ERP, business technology, customer experience and analytics are distinct parts of SAP's catalog.
Positioning and limitations
Start with the business process and deployment model, then name the SAP product being evaluated. A finance modernization project has different requirements from a reporting initiative or customer experience program.
Clear product naming prevents a buyer from comparing a full ERP program with a narrow analytics tool on the same criteria.
