SAP or Systems Applications and Products in Data Processing

This refers to the SAP software application used by many companies nowadays to manage their accounts...I don´t know if its the same S.A.P. an your doc though :-)

SAP is a cutting edge business software package designed by the German-based software company SAP AG. It is a financial information system used by major corporations in more than 50 countries for financial reporting.
SAP is an abbreviation for "Systems Applications and Products in Data Processing." In R/3 - the most current version of SAP - the R signifies "real time." The SAP system will help MIT organize and, most importantly, simplify the way it tracks and records financial transactions. "The power of SAP R/3 is twofold," said James D. Bruce, Vice President for Information Systems. "Its integrated nature allows detailed data searches from the most general of reports down to a specific transaction. Also, its real-time processing generates up-to-date reports at a moment's notice. With SAP R/3, reports are easier to compile, and transactions are easier to complete."
