INTRODUCTION

� SAP was founded in June 1972 as Systemanalyse und Programmentwicklung ("SystemAnalysis and Program Development")[4] by five former IBM engineers in Mannheim,Baden-Württemberg (Dietmar Hopp

, Klaus Tschira, Hans-Werner Hector, Hasso Plattner,and Claus Wellenreuther).[4]

� Milestones in technical solutions

� In 1973, the SAP R/1 solution was launched.[16] Six years later, in 1979, SAP launchedSAP R/2.[16] In 1981, SAP brought a completely re-designed solution to market. However, SAP didn't significantly improve until the period between 1985 and 1990. Themost major improvements came not from the founders or employees, but from apartnership with an educational institution, "Chico State"[citation needed ].

� In 1985, four years after SAP R/2 emerged, SAP had big plans, but few resources toimprove upon their ERP. At the same time, nearly 9000 km (5600Mi) away, at CaliforniaState University at Chico (CSUC) ("Chico State") a graduate student in the precursor of the College of Business at Chico State informed a couple of senior professors about SAP,and wondered if they might ask SAP for an evaluation copy to use in the databasemanagement or production management classes. Chico State professors contacted SAP,and soon the conversation went from "evaluation" to "development". Both sidesagreed to become partners.
