Well, at least the didnīt call it SAP, which is possibly the most overused 3-letter acronym in all of IT.

Some examples from Wikipedia:

- SAP AG, a German software company, or its various products such as SAP R/3 or SAP Business Information Warehouse
- Session Announcement Protocol
- Simple As Possible - Computer Architecture
- System Assist Processor, in computing, a specialized processor that assists a central processor on a large computer, particularly an IBM mainframe
- Service Advertising Protocol
- Service Access Point
- Atari SAP music format
