SAP has shaped the global economy for decades. And although the group’s products are omnipresent and many of the largest companies in the world buy their software in Walldorf, the story behind it is only known. The new podcast “The SAP story“Podstars by Omr wants to change that.

How does a five-person startup become a global IT group “Made in Germany”? In six episodes, “The SAP Story” takes a look behind the scenes, from the beginning to the future with cloud and AI – with exclusive insights from SAP CEO Christian Klein and former employees: inside. It is about culture, ascent and the constant transformation of the group.
