SAP
Top Executive: CEO Christian Klein
SAP is best known for its operational ERP, CRM and supply chain management applications. But those systems generate a lot of data and the Walldorf, Germany-based company offers a portfolio of software for managing and analyzing all that data.
SAP’s HANA in-memory database is the foundation for much of the company’s big data offerings, providing the platform for the SAP Data Intelligence, SAP BW/4HANA, SAP Data Warehouse Cloud and SAP Analytics Cloud systems.
SAP also offers its business analytics software, including its BusinessObjects and SAP Crystal reporting software, as part of its SAP Business Technology Platform, which also includes AI and machine learning capabilities.
