It is a standard ERP system (financials etc.) for large corporations.

It is mainly for big corporations because it usually cost XX M$
or XXX M$ to customize the "standard" system to that corporation.

I have heard about SAP installations with 150000 database

Working with it is supposedly horrible, but SAP consultants make
really good money.
