Difference between ECC and MySAP

[Former Member]

I had gone through few documents and got confused with the versions of SAP.

In mySAP i found business suite where you will get Netweaver, CRM, SRM, ERP.... etc.

and in ECC also i found the same things.

I could not make out the exact difference. I saw ECC is an add-on component of mySAP but i didnt get any specific details.

Can anyone guide me to enrich my knowledge conceptually.

Thanks in Advance.

The evolution is as follows according to one of the architecture documents (hidden) in sap.com:

-- SAP R/3 (up to 4.6C)

-- SAP R/3 Enterprise (4.70 systems)

-- mySAP ERP Edition 2004 (contains ECC 4.0)

-- mySAP ERP Edition 2005 (contains ECC 5.0)

Where ECc means ERP Core Component or Enterprise Core Component (Depending on which document you read).

Note that these names are for the SAP Business Applications not for the Basis Stack (Netweaver)
