We can optimise it for small companies also

yes, we required large company. but we can sue it for small comany also
Yes, it’s perfect for large companies with diversified setup, but as SAP the choice is available to select modules, according to requirement and available budget, so SMEs can use. It’s very good to have SAP, specifically for reporting purpose because SAP has multi-dimensional reports
I think it is possible to take advantage of SAP and dedicate it for a small business .but , you need to know which package you need to use ? and you have to be aware about the cost of IT installations . in italy% of its companies are small and medium and i rarely found the italian companies using SAP in those small (1 to employers ) and medium sizes ( to employers ) while it is always used with big companies and of course it is because of the cost and the lack of awareness about that while i still remember that i have read something about the effort of SAP to dedicate its innovative services and matching it with the small and medium sizes .
