1972 was the era when IBM mainframes became popular. At that time, the so-called application software market, such as financial management software for enterprises, was just in its infancy. Although IBM will "throw in" this kind of software when it sells very large computers, it is usually the customer's own job to develop application software. Every customer has to redesign the same software and spend a lot of money to hire computer consultants. Therefore, every programming development for an enterprise is a huge repetitive work.

The founders of the five SAP were all software engineers in the German branch of IBM at that time. They suggested that IBM write ready-made software for large enterprise projects for enterprises to choose freely, but IBM refused this suggestion and insisted on using customized software.

after their "minority report" was ignored, the five decided to leave IBM to start their own businesses and develop standard software. On April 1, 1972, SAP Company was established. At that time, no one would have thought that one day it would become the world's largest enterprise application software supplier.

when the five founders (Dietmar Hopp, Hans-Werner Hector, Hassoplattner, Klaus Schira, and Claus) started their business in Mannheim, Germany, their company name was called Systemalyseund. Later, according to Systeme, Anwengenandprokteinder ("Systems, and ProctsindadataProcessing"), the company name was abbreviated as SAP.
