SAP mounts the world like a Colossus, forming the backbone of many multi-national companies' attempts to bring rationality to their sometimes massively complex business processes.
The SAP now has approaching 3,88,000 customers in 180 countries, with just over that number on its payroll, supplying solutions to 25 different industries and 12 lines of business, from its original manufacturing roots to aerospace to pharmaceutical to financial services. SAP anticipates that the fast-growing cloud business along with growth in support revenue will drive a higher share of more predictable revenue. SAP expects the total of cloud subscriptions & support revenue and software support revenue to be in a range of 70% – 75% of total revenue in 2020.
