A critical success factor for companies today is the high performance of their core business processes, such as supply chain management, customer relationship management, or e-business applications. Companies with more than 30,000 business installations worldwide rely on SAP1 solutions to run their business processes. Starting with a case study of a typical business process, the technical factors are described that ensure the high performance of an SAP installation, for example, multi-layer architecture, scalability, buffer handling, lock/enqueue management, and hardware sizing.
