We operate our business in three principal geographic regions – EMEA, which represents Europe, Middle East and Africa; the Americas, which represents both North America and Latin America; and Asia Pacific (APA), which represents Japan, Australia and parts of Asia. In 2005, the EMEA region accounted for 53% of total revenues, Americas for 35%, and APA for 12%.

Every industry operates according to distinct processes and practices. SAP has identified six industry sectors in order to focus our product development efforts on the key industries that represent our existing and potential customers – and to provide best business practices and specific integrated business solutions to those industries. In 2005, the six industry groups generated the following revenues (in € TSD and percentage of total revenues):

Process industries	1,765,909	21%
Discrete industries	1,986,113	23%
Consumer industries	1,457,006	17%
Service industries	1,946,026	23%
Financial services	543,360	6%
Public services	814,015	10%

Nearly two-thirds of SAP customers are classified as small and midsize enterprises (SMEs). SAP provides a broad range of business solutions for SMEs, which we define as companies with fewer than 2,500 employees or translated revenue of less than U.S.$1 billion.
