The company best known products are its enterprise resource planning application (SAP ERP), SAP BusinessObjects software, and most recently, Sybase mobile products and in-memory computing appliance SAP HANA.
SAP was founded in June 1972 as Systemanalyse und Programmentwicklung by five former IBM engineers in Mannheim, Baden-Württemberg. The acronym was later changed to stand for Systeme, Anwendungen und Produkte in der Datenverarbeitung (“Systems, Applications and Products in Data Processing”). In November 2010, SAP lost a $1.3 billion intellectual property law suit to Oracle Corporation – cited as the largest software piracy judgment in history. SAP intends to file post-trial motions to lower the damage awarded to Oracle and stated it may also file an appeal.
