Europe's Computer Genius - Newsweek: International Editions - MSNBC.com: "SAP once looked a lot more like a traditional German exporter than it does now. Back in 1990, when the company began to transform the business landscape, it had �256 million in revenue, and only about 68 employees in the United States. Since then America has become SAP's second biggest market, with clients like McDonald's, the Gap and Exxon bringing in some $593 million in revenue in the most recent quarter alone. 'We realized very early on we had to globalize,' says Kagermann. 'We couldn't stay in Europe, let alone Germany. We had to be where our clients were.'"
