How does SAP help businesses?

Most of the traditional business models have decentralized data management, with each department storing its operational data in the individual database(s). Decentralized data storage makes it difficult for employees from different departments to access each other’s information needed to complete their tasks. Moreover, duplication of data across the departments leads to data errors and increases IT storage costs.

SAP software centralizes data management and provides multiple business functions with a single source of the truth. This enables companies to manage complex business processes efficiently, allow easy access to employees of different departments, and gain real-time insights across the organization. It helps businesses improve operational efficiency, increase productivity, boost customer experience, and eventually increase profits.
