In other software, you need to have different software's for different module. e.g. BAAN, ORACLE MANUFACTURING, etc. There, integration becomes the issue, not all software
support some integration's except for SAP, so SAP is clear WINNER .

Not only on the functionality side, but also on the system architecture and landscape SAP is innovating day by day from R2 to R3 to ECC to SOA, to adopt to the business needs, thus adding immense value to the customers. 5.
