​SAP’s Company History :  from 1972  , amazing journey

 1972: Five former IBM employees Hasso Plattner, Dietmar Hopp, Claus Wellenreuther, Klaus Tschira, and Hans-Werner Hektor launch a company called SAP (Systems Analysis and Program Development). Their vision: to develop standard application software for real-time business processing. Still a private corporation, the company is headquartered in Weinheim, Germany, with its main office in nearby Mannheim; however, the five company founders are most often found at their customers’s computer centers, including ICI in Östringen. The first software programs were written primarily at night and on weekends. At the end of the first business year, SAP already had nine employees and a turnover of DM 620,000. 

1973: The first financial accounting software is completed, the RF system. This forms the basis for the continuous development of other software components in what came to be known as the R/1 system. New customers from the local region implement SAP software, including the cigarette manufacturer Rothändle in Lahr and the pharmaceutical company Knoll in Ludwigshafen. These new customer use IBM computers and the DOS operating system.

 1974: SAP demonstrates its flexibility for the first time. Within eight weeks, the RF system is converted from DOS to OS. There are already 40 companies on the reference list.
 1976: SAPGmbHSysteme,AnwendungenundProdukteinderDatenverarbeitung (Systems, Applications, and Products in Data Processing) is set up as an auxiliary sales and marketing firm. 

Five years later in 1981, the private corporation established in 1972 (Systems Analysis and Program Development) dissolved, and its rights are transferred to SAP GmbH, giving the company its current name (Systems, Applications, and Products in Data Processing). SAP now has 25 employees and a turnover of DM 3.81 million.

1977: The company headquarters moves from Weinheim to Walldorf. For the first time, SAP installs its system at customer sites outside Germany; two Austrian companies decide to implement SAP software. The company is reorganized to support active sales and distribution. 

1979: SAP starts to use its first own server, a Siemens 7738. Previously, SAP employees carried out all development in the data centers of regional companies, such as ICI, Thermal, Knoll, Grünzwieg+Hartmann, and Freudenberg. SAP’s first “development center” is still housed in rented space; however, work is already underway on the first stage of construction for a company headquarters building. Intensive work with IBM’s database and dialog control system provides the impetus for a new approach to SAP software. SAP R/2 is brought into the world.

1980: SAP moves into the company’s first building on Max-Planck-Strasse in Walldorf’s industrial park. The software development area and its 50 computers are now finally under one roof. The new data processing infrastructure is also built. The Siemens 7738, an IBM/370-148, is installed, although this is changed to a higher performance 4341 later in the year. This IBM model has 4 MB of memory. The palette of products is also increased. The RV order processing software is added to the product range.

1982: 

SAP celebrates its 10th birthday. Its offices are already too small and the first building extension is built in record time. Over 250 companies in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland work with SAP software. Revenue reaches approximately DM 24 million, and the company has 100 employees. One of the company founders leaves the company. 

1984: SAP takes on 48 new employees. This increase in personnel resources is brought about in particular by the further development of SAP’s modules (RK, PPS, and RP). SAP (International) AG is founded in Biel, Switzerland. The intention is to deal with foreign markets from this base in Switzerland. SAP has 163 employees and revenues of DM 46 million. 

1986: SAP founds its first country subsidiary in Austria. It also opens its first branch office in Ratingen, near Düsseldof, Germany. SAP increases its capital stock from DM 500,000 to DM 5,000,000. The growing number of employees leads to the creation of smaller organizational units headed by department managers. A new financial regulation leads to a flood of orders: approximately 100 new orders are received for SAP’s asset accounting software. After three years in development, SAP’s new human resources software is made available to customers. The company makes its first appearance at the CeBIT software trade fair in Hanover, Germany. Revenues reach the DM 100 million mark earlier than expected.

 1987: Work begins on SAP’s training center in Walldorf’s industrial park. The first SAP software congress in Karlsruhe is used as a platform for the exchange of information between users and interested parties. The new generation of servers from IBM means that SAP software is now available to midsize companies (annual revenue from DM 30 million to 200 million). SAP Consulting is founded to serve this customer sector. The standardization of software production becomes an incentive for SAP to start developing a new generation of software: SAP R/3. 

1988: SAP GmbH becomes SAP AG. In October, 1.2 million shares are listed on the Frankfurt and Stuttgart stock exchanges. SAP’s international business grows; country subsidiaries are established in Denmark, Sweden, Italy, and the United States. The international training center is opened in Walldorf. This also incorporates a sport park for SAP’s 940 employees. Dow Chemicals becomes SAP’s 1000th customer. To meet the requirements of specific industries, SAP begins to develop RIVA, a billing and administration system for utilities.

 1990: SAP stock reaches DM 85 million following the issue of preference shares. The increased funds are used to finance increasing investments. DM 110 million is made available for R&D, both for the further development of R/2 and the new development of R/3. SAP now has over 1700 employees and its revenue exceeds DM500 million. 

1991: SAP presents its R/3 system for the first time at the CeBIT in Hannover. The product meets with overwhelming approval due to its client/server concept, uniform appearance of graphical interfaces, consistent use of relational databases, and the ability to run on computers from different providers. Revenues and employee numbers continue to rise. At the end of the year, SAP has 2685 employees in Germany and its 14 subsidiaries, and has revenues of DM 707 million.

 1992: After successful installation at selected pilot customers, SAP R/3 is released tothegeneralmarket.ThisheraldsthestartofanewstageinSAP’sgrowth.Asit celebrates its 20th anniversary, SAP intensifies its partner strategy in accordance with the expected high installation figures for R/3.

Series Microsoft Project : Link projects to create a master project

Ketika Ada beberapa project yg berhubungan satu sama lain, daripada menyatukannya dan membuat ribuan baris task activities yg buanyak, dan kelemahan ms Project adalah lambat dlm processing , tak jarang restart sendiri, dan membuat ada pekerjaan yg harus diulang lagi,

ada trick yg bisa meringankan beban penderitaan di atas:

dgn menu Project, lalu dibawah plng kiri anda clik menu subproject

ada 2 pilihan : saling mengupdate atau tdk saling mengupdate

kalau di tick berarti, Antara master dan subproject akan saling meng update bila salah satu ada yg diubah schedulenya,

sebaliknya bila di untick tidak akan berpengaruh , satu sama lain, jadi seperti copy saja.

kemudian setelah tick link project , ada pilihan lagi Mode : read/write or read only

kalau read/write : edit bisa di master project atau subproject

kalau read only: edit hy bisa di sub project.

 

Menu : project then click Subproject to insert  subproject to master project.

option :

  1. tick / untick link to project
  2. Mode : read/write or read only

Link projects to create a master project – Project

Link projects to create a master project

To help keep a large project more organized, you can link several project files together to create a master project/ subproject arrangement (also known as external dependencies). For example, a construction master project might have subproject files for plumbing, electrical, and carpentry work. Here’s how:

  1. Create separate Project files for each subproject, then open or create the project that you want to be the master project.
  2. In the master project, click View > Gantt Chart.
  3. In the Task Name field, click the row below which you want to insert the subproject. You can insert a subproject anywhere in the task list of the master project.
  4. Click Project > Subproject.

    The Project ribbon tab, showing the Insert subproject command.

  5. In the Insert Project box, select the subproject you want to insert.
    • To insert multiple subprojects, hold down Ctrl and click the subprojects in the order that you want to insert them.
    • In most cases, you’ll want to leave the Link to project box checked, so that changes in the subproject are reflected in the master project, and vice-versa. But if you just want to copy the subproject into the master project without the files being dynamically linked, uncheck the box.
  6. Click Insert, or to insert a project in read-only format, click the arrow on the Insert button, and then click Insert Read-Only. Inserting a project read-only creates a link between the two projects, but prevents you from updating the subproject from within the master project. If you update the subproject file directly, however, its changes are reflected in the master project. The Insert Read-Only option is only available when the Link to project box is checked.

Avoiding duplicate resource names in linked projects

If you link projects that have resources with the same name, you’ll create duplicate resource names, which could be confusing. To avoid this, uncheck the Link to project box in the Insert Project dialog box. Doing this will ensure that the resource information in the master project (such as pay rates, resource calendars) will be honored over the subproject resource information.

Note:  When you update an unlinked subproject from within the master project, the original subproject file will not show this change.

4) Pertumbuhan Mindset
Salah satu alasan orang tidak sukses adalah karena mereka percaya bahwa mereka tidak bisa berubah. Mereka adalah siapa mereka. 
 kemampuan, keterampilan, bakat, ciri-ciri perilaku dll tetap. Akibatnya, mereka akan menghindari tantangan,

Orang-orang sukses memiliki pola pikir pertumbuhan. Mereka tahu mereka bisa meningkatkan, lebih baik, belajar lebih banyak, melakukan lebih. 
Mereka menghadapi tantangan karena mereka tahu mereka akan belajar sesuatu dalam proses. 
Mereka adalah solusi-berorientasi dan tidak melihat masalah sebagai masalah.

7) Mereka percaya bahwa mereka berada dalam kendali nasib mereka
Terlalu banyak orang memiliki mentalitas korban. Di mana segala sesuatu yang terjadi kepada mereka dan mereka tidak memiliki kontrol atas apa-apa. Mereka menyalahkan keadaan mereka karena kurangnya keberhasilan mereka atau kegagalan. Orang-orang sukses  bertanggung jawab. Mereka mengendalikan nasib mereka. 

8) keyakinan diri
Keyakinan diri merupakan inti dari pola pikir seseorang yang sukses. Mereka tahu siapa mereka, apa yang mereka tawarkan dan bahwa tidak peduli apa, mereka akan menemukan cara untuk mencapai tujuan mereka. Mereka tahu bahwa bahkan jika ada yang salah, mereka akan baik-baik dan akan bangkit kembali dengan kekuatan penuh.

9) Risk-taker
Jika Anda ingin sukses, Anda harus mengambil risiko. Tinggal di zona kenyamanan Anda dan bermain aman berarti tingkat keberhasilan Anda akan mencapai akan selalu terbatas. 

Jangan salah paham. Orang-orang sukses masih akan memiliki beberapa tingkat ketakutan. Perbedaannya adalah mereka tidak membiarkan rasa takut melumpuhkan mereka. Mereka menggunakannya untuk memindahkan mereka, mendapatkan kepastian mereka dari mengetahui bahwa apa pun yang terjadi akan selalu ada sesuatu yang mereka dapat belajar. Dan meningkat.

10) Disiplin
Fokus dan disiplin adalah dua sifat utama orang-orang sukses. Mereka menempatkan rutinitas dan kebiasaan yang akan membuat mereka di jalur untuk tujuan mereka.
