SAP, one of the world's leading providers of enterprise resource planning (ERP) software, has had a positive year and made progress in many areas.

The completed and proposed acquisitions of other companies and the release of new products are highlighted by ComputerWeekly as key moments of success in 2011.

However, the firm is not one to rest on its laurels and will instead drive forwards in 2012 in a bid to grow further and enjoy even more significant prominence in the technology market.

The publication suggested it sees its future expansion lying in the area of data analytics – something that is "no surprise" for a company that excels in ERP at such scale.

It identified the UK government's midata project as one area in which SAP solutions could be crucial, as more data will require management.

A report by Cloud Pro recently explained that SAP is expected to push on with plans to progress in the cloud in 2012.
