Why Kraft Chose SAP • SAP is business process infrastructure
– SAP is a software mirror image of the major business processes of a firm, such as customer order fulfillment and manufacturing.
– SAP software automates and integrates the basic processes of a firm, from finance to the shop floor, and eliminate complex, expensive links between computer systems that were never meant to talk to each other.
– SAP provides enterprise wide business process, information and data management
– Instant access to data as it is created - Visibility of the data on entire processes and the organization
– SAP stream-line and standard business processes and operating procedures
