SAPPHIRE (SAP User Conference)
SAPPHIRE is the annual SAP User
Conference. At SAPPHIRE, decision makers from enterprises around the world meet to formulate
solutions that can accelerate innovation and stimulate growth.
SAP, started in 1972 by five former IBM employees in
Mannheim, Germany, states that it is the world's largest inter-enterprise software company and the
world's fourth-largest independent software supplier overall. SAP has traditionally been of
interest mainly to large and medium-sized enterprises. However, SAP solutions are being used
increasingly by small companies as well.
