One of the reason SAP is considered as preferred ERP across the globe is for their completeness in providing solution from SME to large global corporates. The software has been in the market for over 2 decades and has a very good implementation partners ranging from corporates enterpises like CTS, Infosys etc to local partners in each regions. Even though they are wide spread, the application has a mammoth of application features that has been a cummulative of their years of presence in the market across different industries. Companies even adopt policies and procedures based on the functionalities provided by SAP. Though customization in SAP is a bit tedious having cost and time impacts and can only be performed by seasoned professionals ( not novoice ) to yeild the required outcome. 

In the coming times, SAP is adopting the cloud plateform to provide solutions to companies on all sizes  through SAP HANA. With the world moving towards cloud adoption and moving away from onpremise hosting options to save cost and effort so that they put their own people into their core business, is some thing that we should keep in mind.

SAP is a feature rich ERP system. The ability to fit any mid-large organization with all its various business modules and the flexibility for customization to meet customer needs is certainly a great factor. The best feature is its ability to automate large scale operations.
