| 1. | SAP stands for Systems, Applications, and Products in Data Processing. |
| 2. | SAP provides bolt-on solutions for nearly 30 industries, including SAP Aerospace & Defense, SAP Automotive, SAP Banking, SAP Chemicals, SAP Consumer Products, SAP Engineering & Construction, SAP Healthcare, SAP High Tech, SAP Insurance, SAP Media, SAP Oil & Gas, SAP Pharmaceuticals, SAP Public Sector, SAP Retail, SAP Service Provider, SAP Telecommunications, and SAP Utilities.

| 3. | The presentation server, application server, and database server constitute SAP’s system design; all three are required to be installed, although all can be installed on separate physical computers (servers) or even the same computer. The presentation server runs the SAP GUI or other SAP user interface, and is the system that users enter data into or use to manage and monitor the system. The application server handles the SAP administrative functions, including background processing and spool requests for the printer; it contains the business logic (programs) for SAP. The database server houses all the data associated with the SAP system. |
| 4. | The successor to SAP’s wildly successful R/3 product is ECC, or ERP Central Component. |
| 5. | Although there are many benefits to SAP’s integrated design, the most important is that it facilitates communication between modules and components that make up SAP’s business environment, and therefore affords visibility and enables smarter decision-making. |
| 6. | A cross-application business process spans multiple SAP components (applications). A business process that completes all its work within just ECC is not a cross-application business process. |
| 7. | ESA provides the roadmap or blueprint for designing an adaptable enterprise computing solution; it’s the architecture rather than the enabler or toolset (NetWeaver provides the platform and tools to construct a solution that embraces ESA). |
| 8. | An SAP logical unit of work contains all the steps of a transaction, often concluding with the update to the SAP database. |
