SAP actively hires talented people across the United States, and frequently places people with strong industry-specific expertise in offices that are located close to those industries. For example, experts in oil and gas work out of the Dallas office, while experts in government and public sector work from the
Washington, D.C. location.

At the SAP North America headquarters campus near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, approximately 1,900 employees work on the Newtown Square campus. The main building incorporates sustainable design elements, such as a green roof, daylight harvesting, and ice storage tanks for cooling.

Across the country in Palo Alto, California, the SAP offices house the development, research, and innovation centers for North America. This unique location leverages the proximity to Silicon Valley and the assets of the nationwide U.S. market to drive innovation and strategic partnering, as well as to provide field support. The staff in Palo Alto has grown from just 25 people in 1996 to more than 1,500 employees today.
