Benefit one: Business process improvement
One byproduct of implementing strong internal controls is business process improvement.

It gives companies a chance to examine their processes closely and ask themselves probing questions such as, “Why does it take seven people for us to do something, when Company X only needs three people to do the same thing?”

Benefit two: Management by exception

SAP R/3 Support many platforms and database, here is some simple comparison. The platforms that R/3 can run on are shown in Table below

For example, if you write an ABAP/4 program on Digital UNIX with an Informix database and an OSF/Motif interface, that same program should run without modification on a Windows NT machine with an Oracle database and a Windows 95 interface. Or, it could run on an AS/400 with a DB2 database using OS/2 as the front-end.

SAP also provides a suite of tools for administering the Basis system. These tools perform tasks such as system performance monitoring, configuration, and system maintenance. To access the Basis administration tools from the main menu, choose the path Tools->Administration.
