SAP started in 1972 as a team of five colleagues with a desire to do something new. Together, they changed

enterprise software and reinvented how business was done. Today, as a market leader in enterprise

application software, we remain true to our roots. That's why we engineer solutions to fuel innovation, foster

equality and spread opportunity for our employees and customers across borders and cultures. SAP values

the entrepreneurial spirit, fostering creativity and building lasting relationships with our employees. GIGYA was

acquired by SAP on 2017 and joined SAP Customer Experience division. The joint mission of SAP and Gigya

is to provide consumers with the best possible experience in an increasingly digital world, with the utmost

respect for user privacy and protecting personal data.
