SAP is considered the ERP system, and the most successful IT export from Germany.

In the second hospital, I was given an examination for the second time that I'd already done in the first one, two days before; the results weren't in the SAP system yet, and I said something about 'Shitty SAP', upon which the doctor said, 'Oh, you know SAP's first name?' There are rumours about medium sized companies that went broke after introducing SAP and changing all their processes to fit the software, instead of the other way around. It's that kind of a huge mega-kludge.
