SAP R/3 uses features such as menus, windows and graphical objects to make the system easy to use. It is the advanced SAP software technology that enables this user friendliness to be achieved.
SAP Technology is compatible with all types of business computer. This means that a company's hardware can be expanded in a variety of ways as requirements increase.
SAP Technology will also handle changes in the structure of an organization. For example changes may occur which require data processing to be more centralized or decentralized. SAP will handle either equally well.
So far we have looked at the way SAP R/3 handles business tasks in a single company. However, SAP Technology has also been designed for organizations made up of several corporations.
One R/3 System can administer several legally independent corporations. Even if the corporations themselves have subsidiaries, they can all be handled within a single system.
Today, many organizations have independent corporations and subsidiaries based in different countries world-wide. R/3 is chosen by such organizations because it is multi-lingual, it reflects national taxation laws and accounting practices and it supports multiple time zone operations.
One of the most important recent developments is the growth of the World Wide Web. SAP Technology insures that organizations are ready for business on the Internet.
