SAP ECC

SAP ECC stands for SAP ERP Central Component. It’s also known as SAP ERP. It’s one of SAP legacy applications that originally designed to operate on a third-party database such as Oracle and IBM DB2. SAP ECC is the system that most companies have and are familiar with because it includes the more commonly used modules such as financials, human resources (HR), warehousing, and logistics.

SAP ECC also has modules such as Production Planning, Materials Management, and Plant Maintenance for manufacturers. SAP ECC is the core product within SAP Business Suite and should not be confused with SAP Business Suite. SAP Business Suite goes beyond the foundational modules and supports specialized or complex functions such as supply chain management (SCM) and customer relationship management (CRM). Similar to SAP ECC, SAP Business Suite can run on a third-party database such as MSSQL, IBM DB2, and SAP HANA.
