In what the ERP giant calls "a powerful demonstration of its ability to easily and successfully deliver the value of enterprise service-oriented architecture (enterprise SOA) to customers," SAP AG has announced that more than 1,000 customers are live on mySAP™ ERP 2005, the latest release of SAP's enterprise resource planning (ERP) application.

SAP reports that the milestone marks the fastest adoption rate of an ERP release in the history of the company. Organizations in diverse industries around the world -- including Higher Education Press, China; The Department of Water Resources, State of California; Technische Werke Ludwigshafen AG, Germany; and Palfinger AG, Austria -- benefit from a non-disruptive, fast and cost-effective upgrade, and realize the value of SAP's market-leading ERP solution that also represents the industry's first business process platform.

As the company describes the solution, "Generally available for customers since May of 2006, the latest version of mySAP ERP together with SAP NetWeaver® serves as a stable business process platform and delivers continuous innovation through optional enhancement packages that customers may adopt at their own pace, without disrupting day-to-day operations. Offered as part of customers' license and maintenance agreements, SAP® enhancement packages for mySAP ERP make it simpler and faster for customers to adopt new product functionality and industry-specific features without the risk of business disruptions. SAP's evolved delivery model shields customers from the complexity of multiple upgrades and portends the impending inflection point in the IT sector -- the transition to SOA, a blueprint that enables software functions, or "services," to be combined quickly and flexibly to perform new business processes."
