Founded in 1972 and headquartered in Walldorf, Germany, the company serves large enterprises, public-sector organizations, and upper-midmarket customers across Europe, the Americas, and Asia-Pacific, and operates as a global software provider with a broad ecosystem of partners and subsidiaries.
SAP’s core product portfolio includes SAP S/4HANA; SAP Business Technology Platform; SAP Business Data Cloud; SAP SuccessFactors; SAP Ariba; SAP Concur; SAP Fieldglass; SAP Signavio; SAP LeanIX; and related implementation, support, integration, and cloud services, alongside AI-enabled capabilities centered on Joule and embedded business applications. The company also provides software and services that help customers run ERP, procurement, workforce management, expense management, process transformation, and enterprise analytics workloads on a unified digital stack.
In recent periods, SAP has accelerated its strategic shift toward Business AI and data-driven cloud software through a series of acquisitions and platform initiatives. In 2025 and 2026, the company announced intentions to acquire SmartRecruiters, Reltio, Prior Labs, and Dremio, with each transaction aimed at strengthening talent acquisition, master data management, tabular foundation models, and data lakehouse capabilities for SAP Business Data Cloud and agentic AI workloads.
SAP has also undertaken several organizational and operational changes in 2026, including the creation of the Customer Value Group, an expanded Chief Customer Officer role for Thomas Saueressig, interim transfer of parts of Product & Engineering responsibility to Christian Klein, and the formation of new teams focused on SAP Business AI Platform and SAP Autonomous Suite. The company’s refreshed 2026 strategy emphasizes Joule, embedded intelligent agents, industry-specific AI applications, SAP Business Data Cloud, and accelerating customers’ move to the cloud, while reinforcing its position as a leading global provider of enterprise software.
