SAP History
Main Article: SAP SE History
SAP was created in 1972 by five former IBM employees (Klaus Tschira, Dietmar Hopp and Hasso Plattner, Claus Wellenreuther, Hans-Werner Hector) from the company's German office in Weingame. The SAP name was based on the first letters of the full name: "Systeme, Anwendungen und Produkte in der Datenverarbeitung "/" Systems, Applications and Products in Data Processing." The first office of the company was located in Mannheim (Germany).
