it is not THE SAP, it is simply, SAP
originally it stood for "Systeme, Anwendungen, Produkte", i.e. in German: "Systems, Applications, Products".
It is the world leader for ERP software, i.e. software used to run most functions of a business.
Anyone with some decent IT knowledge can learn SAP. Learning SAP means learning how to set parameters so that the software will reflect the way a given business functions, based on interviewing people within the company. A bit like an Excel spreadsheet if you want, only much more complex.
Other necessary aspects include learning how to install it, support it, but these are typically lower value-added.
Sap is also the name of the life-fluid that flows in trees and plants.
And Sap is a word in British slang for "semen".
hope this helps

Since you're in the Networking section, I'm assuming you're not talking about the ERP package and instead are talking about the Service Advertising Protocol. Legacy Novell NetWare servers advertise their services to other network devices by sending SAP broadcasts. Because SAP employs inefficient broadcasts and uses a great deal of network resources simply telling other devices what's available, it has been replaced by other more efficient protocols such as Service Location Protocol (SLP).
