What is SAP? A Seven-Minute Orientation (S/4HANA, Fiori, and the Module Landscape) | Episode 1

This is the first episode of SAP Concepts — a presentation-style series that orients you in the SAP world without drowning you in screenshots or transaction codes. Eight minutes on the company, the product lineage, what "ERP" actually means, the scale of SAP's reach, the module landscape, and the three things that define S/4HANA today. No config screens. No ABAP. Just the mental model you need so that every other SAP term you hear from here on has somewhere to live in your head. What You'll Learn: - Who SAP is as a company — founded 1972, Walldorf, Germany, five ex-IBM engineers, roughly 35 billion USD annual revenue - The acronym — Systems, Applications and Products in Data Processing - The product lineage from R/1 through ECC to S/4HANA - What ERP actually means — one shared data model, modules as lenses, configuration not code - Scale — the roughly 77 percent of global transaction revenue statistic, 400k+ customers, 27 industries - The core module codes — FI, CO, MM, SD, PP, HR (plus QM, PM) - S/4HANA's three defining pieces — HANA in-memory database, Universal Journal (ACDOCA), Fiori UX - Where it runs — on-premise, private cloud, public cloud, and RISE with SAP Taught by CelesteAI.
