SAP (SAP SE, a global software company, is one of the largest vendors of ERP and other enterprise applications.) and Thomson Reuters both appear on the Smoower Developer Ecosystem Index.

SAP (rank #122) holds a meaningful lead over Thomson Reuters (rank #625) on the overall Smoower ecosystem score (54 vs 33). The gap of 21 points reflects composite signals across code, docs, community and reach.

On education (docs, guides and learning material for developers), Thomson Reuters is slightly ahead of SAP. On community (issue response, PR reviews and discussion health), SAP is clearly ahead of Thomson Reuters. On reach (how visible the ecosystem is beyond its own repos), Thomson Reuters is clearly ahead of SAP. On momentum (release cadence and how fast the ecosystem moves), SAP is clearly ahead of Thomson Reuters.

SAP carries 12,850 GitHub stars across 309 public repos, with 96 repositories active in the last 90 days and 60 external contributors on record. Thomson Reuters shows 436 stars across 143 public repos, 8 active in the last 90 days and 0 external contributors.
