The other day I stumbled upon one article regarding SAP Economy Ecosystem (well it's from 2007 research). Here are interesting facts:
- More than 41,000 customers
- Average deal of each SAP implementation -> USD 1.6 Million
- More than 800,000 service partners and developers (notable service partners include IBM, HP, Accenture)
- Estimated around USD 425 Billion (Roughly around Saudi Arabia & Norway GDP)
That's 2007 estimation by the way. In 2007, SAP's revenue stands at USD 13 Billion and in 2011, it's USD 18 Billion. That's a 8.5% average increases for the past 4 years. Based on this trend, perhaps we could estimate the overall SAP's economy has increased close to USD 600 Billion. That's between Switzerland and Indonesia economy right there. And only 16 other countries have bigger economy than SAP ecosystem.
But nobody can beat Microsoft's Economy. It's the biggest which I think could be more than a trillion dollar economy. To put thing into perspective, only 15 countries reach a trillion dollar economy.
