SAP deployments must work in some cases, surely.
I read somewhere that a large part of Apple's supply chain management is built on SAP, as well as being the system of record for iTunes/App Store transactions.
I can't find a reliable citation, since this will probably not be something they broadcast, due to their secrecy.
But then, they have the capital to massively spend on heavyweight internal systems.
- mbesto 15y agoNot sure if their SCM is SAP SCM, but the back-end of Apple is largely run by SAP software.
- johnappleby 15y agoYes, Apple's iTunes store system of record runs on a custom SAP ABAP based system. It used to run SAP ERP but that could not take the load of transactions. As I understand it, this is the reason why you get a weekly bill from Apple: the iTunes ABAP system makes financial postings to ERP, to reduce the overall number of transactions - and presumably also their credit card overhead.
