SAP Polska increases sales in Q4 to finish on a high

SAP Polska, one of the world's leading producers of company management systems, and the biggest in Poland, will most likely close 2002 in the black, despite the slack economy and high market saturation. According to preliminary results, in the last three months of 2002 SAP's sales increased, bringing the company around euro 950 million against the projected euro 830 million. In 2001 the company recorded profits of zl. 148.8 million, and last year managed to increase the number of licenses sold, but the majority of its customers were small and medium-size companies, a sector the firm entered only last year. The most popular programs offered by SAP last year were Business One (for small companies) and mySAP.com for larger organizations. It was also last year that SAP Polska managed to reach beyond the industrial sector and sold its first systems to the finance and banking sectors. (Rzeczpospolita, p. B3) J.K.
