Since I have been redirected from mySAP to this page I would have expected at least to find the word in the article. Unfortunately, this is not the case ... --82.135.125.90 08:25, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Proposed Deletion (19 February 2008)

• A previous version of this page was proposed for deletion based on based on "Unreferenced and unsourced article about a non-notable software package: a non-consumer commercial product, described non-neutrally and in advertising style as a 'solution'". Was resolved at the time as "do not delete", and most of the content has since been overhauled. -- Jethero^Talk 02:35, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

• This page has nothing that looks like advertising. I have seen many pages in Wikipedia which has more inclination towards advertising. Moreover, in the page, nowhere there is a reference for appreciation of company or their product comparison. So Objection of Advertisement is baseless.
  • You obviously don't know anything about ERP systems. SAP is the leading provider of ERP software. SAP ERP makes up over half of the ERP market. Have you ever heard of Oracle, Siebel, or J.D. Edwards? SAP sells more ERP software than them. (And if you haven't heard of them then you shouldn't be posting here.) Most of SAP's customers have revenues of over $500 million. You can't just download their software. It costs thousands of dollars and years to install. By the way, solution is an industry term. We all call software packages "solutions." I don't work for SAP, but anyone who works with inventory, production, or IT at any decent-sized company knows about SAP ERP.--Bluesages222222 (talk) 11:01, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

• Who are you both talking to? Ah, I see: a proposed deletion tag had been entered, then removed again, which is right IMO. SAP ERP is of course notable. The article is just very short of real information. --Mopskatze (talk) 12:14, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

• There is some slightly problematic text about SAP ERP having cost benefits, but apart from that, after reading this article, I finally have a rough understanding on what SAP is about! --00prometheus (talk) 19:06, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

Merger proposal from SAP GUI

I propose that SAP GUI be merged into this article as a subheading relating to SAP ERP, as it's kind of not terribly useful as an article by itself. [ roux ] [x] 08:58, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

• Agreed that SAP GUI was not terribly useful. Redirected SAP GUI to SAPgui, and removed merge request. Jethero^Talk 02:11, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

Merger with SAP_R/3

Hi,

Both article seem to share the same subject matter and may benefit from being merged.

The products have significant differences, so I advise keeping the two entries separate. Crysb (talk) 17:41, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

Proposed Rewriting (11 August 2009)

I haven't studied the previous version that was proposed for deletion, but the current version definitely contains some advertisment-like language and suspicious material, and looks strange to me as a whole. Some examples:

• "SAP ERP systems effectively implemented can have huge cost benefits." has no encyclopedic value
• some sections appear to be duplicate (e.g. "Benefits of SAP ERP" and "Advantages and disadvantages of SAP ERP")
• half of the references are to the same book
• "Deployment and maintenance costs" says nothing about the costs of deploying SAP ERP —Preceding unsigned comment added by TinyFirstman (talk • contribs) 15:41, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

Looked at this article and rewrote/removed much of the content in question. Should read much better now, but still requires the addition of multiple references. Crysb (talk) 17:40, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

Integration

The section marked for tone sounds like an advertisement, not encyclopedic. And it needs citations of companies touting the benefits. Crasshopper (talk) 03:20, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

Just edited the "advertising-style" paragraph a bit

I made some changes to the paragraph where SAP ERP had been described in advertising style —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.240.244.161 (talk) 16:29, 16 July 2010 (UTC) 83.240.244.161 (talk) 16:32, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

Mein Gott, this is a terrible article

Ummmm... can *anyone* do anything about this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.89.174.132 (talk) 14:43, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

This really is a poorly written article which could have been written as promotional material. Surely something can be done with it? Roseofwinter (talk) 16:41, 11 December 2013 (UTC)

Scope of SAP ERP

Definition of the scope of SAP ERP needs more work: the current definition is incomplete. Rather than make up the scope from memory this should be taken from original SAP literature. 109.145.136.140 (talk) 20:29, 29 July 2013 (UTC)

Hi there, I recently tried to improve the SAP ERP page (especially the Development and Implementation sections). I also added the following sources to support the content.

 http://www.saponlinetutorials.com/about-sap-modules-sap-modules-list-overview/
 https://www.udemy.com/sap-project/
 http://searchsap.techtarget.com/tip/Prevent-SAP-ERP-implementation-failure
 https://www2.deloitte.com/content/dam/Deloitte/mx/Documents/human-capital/01_ERP_Top10_Challenges.pdf

I see the article was flagged in 2011 as having multiple issues. Is there a way to trigger a review to see if the article has improved enough to remove the issues listed at the top of the page?

1972

The infobox contains an unsupported statement that the initial release of SAP was in 1972. The "official" company history says they started the company in 1972 and had software in 1975. (talk) 11:45, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
