# SAP SRM - Looking back at the history

SAP = Systems, Applications and Products in Data Processing
B2B = Business to Business Procurement (internet/web era)
EBP= Enterprise Buyer Professional
SRM = Supplier Relationship Management

I could remember the days when the Purchase order was typed and manually stamped/signed and mailed to a supplier. Then the orders were punch carded to a supplier (earlier EDI days). The communications evolved. The mass production and increased supply demand invented many of the innovations.

In the internet era of early 1999 SAP introduced the very first SRM application. SAP called it as SAP B2B 1.0. Then the re-branding and the SAP suite offering followed.

Note-
For a few releases SAP followed year nomenclature which was a trend for while in IT industry and went back to numeric one.
**SRM 2005 = SRM 5.0
SRM 2007 = SRM 6.0 (limited)


It has been the interesting journey so far!
