> One of the most mysterious software companies is the German firm SAP, with
> it's enterprises management and bookkeeping system used by many large
> American corporations, including Microsoft. Much of the corporate culture
> actually stems from corporate use of SAP. This is a little frightening. The
> best-selling German book "SAP: Inside the Secret Software Power" is now for
> sale the U.S. By McGraw-Hill. Written by Gerd Meissner, this book outlines
> the story behind SAP. The litigious company tried its best to keep this book
> off the market, and that's reason enough to buy a copy. There are stories in
> here that will make you hair stand on end. Highly recommended!
