Pros

SAP takes care of its people and is a highly matrixed organization that focuses more on getting work done and less on organizational reporting hierarchies. SAP is the worldwide leader of enterprise software, focused on enabling key business processes. They are constantly innovating and have had good success with HANA, S/4, and their cloud integration and extension strategy. SAP's industry depth and expertise is unmatched. SAP Account Executives have executive-level relationships at most of their accounts, which makes it easier to upsell other complimentary solutions into the same organization.

Cons

The gravity of the organization lies in Walldorf, where most of the engineering leadership resides. On the technology side, SAP has a unique, non-standard vocabulary (Cloud provider = Hyperscaler, Enterprise Data Warehouse = Business Warehouse, Measures = Key Figures, etc.).

The marketing of SAP tends to be 12-18 months ahead of reality.

Advice to Management

SAP can sometimes get too focused on developing new solutions instead of maturing its existing solutions.
