SAP said its sales machine worked across the world as revenue in all regions was up by double digits. That analysis came during this week's earnings webcast as the German software giant released its earnings for the first quarter ended March 31. Total revenue was $3.86 billion, a rise of 30 percent from $2.98 billion in last year's corresponding period.
