Choose the right SAP ERP for your business in the SME sector
SAP Business One and SAP Business ByDesign are two products made available by a world-leading German company named SAP SE. Generally termed as SAP business solutions, both are made for Small and Medium-Sized Companies. But fulfil complete cost-effective purposes based on the business’s orientation and organisational structure.
It allows most of the business processes to be accessed through a single platform.
While SAP Business One is a product known worldwide as a perfect fit for small businesses, SAP Business ByDesign is treated as the next level or its advanced form for SMEs. It is aimed at scalable small and mid-market businesses. And it is mostly preferred by businesses with multiple company domains.
SAP Business One - ERP for Small Businesses
SAP B1 is the cheapest among all the sap products as they are mainly aimed at small business sectors. Its simplicity is its strongest value. Because a small business can easily connect through all the departments, and get transparency between the business processes, SAP B1 does an exceptional delivery and cost-effective value to small businesses. Not to mention, scalability is another factor why a small business can choose SAP B1 for. It allows a seamless transition and flexibility when your company start to scale.
SAP Business ByDesign yet built for SMEs, is of a completely different structure. It supports multiple company databases. It is different from SAP Business One in its architecture, but still within the cost efficiency for a fully stretched model for a midsize enterprise – more like an advanced sap b1!
Using SAP Business One
SAP Business One was formally a small accounting software which was then acquired and developed by SAP SE. Now it incorporates all the modern functionality implemented under the R&D of SAP. The latest releases are always compliant with global and local needs.
The single best and most powerful factor of SAP B1 is its simplicity and the security that comes with it. For a small business, this is an all-in-one solution model that works best within a small budget. SAP B1 delivers high-end business process operations in simple software for small first, usually in its start-up stage, or with fewer end users.
Another alluring factor why businesses use SAP Business One is that it is supported by both Microsoft SQL and SAP HANA. This means you can use it both on the public cloud or server.
Given are the versions of SAP 1 according to different deployment levels.:
- SAP Business One: The product runs on a Microsoft SQL database. You can deploy it on your server.
- SAP Business One, version for SAP HANA : This product runs on the SAP HANA database. Not to mention, this is how you can use SAP Business One faster than anything.
- SAP Business One analytics powered by SAP HANA: SAP Business One has limited analytics and reporting facilities. Both Microsoft and HANA offer extended Analytics based on the SAP HANA database, side-by-side with a transactional Microsoft SQL server.
- SAP Business One Cloud: This product runs on both Microsoft SQL and SAP HANA databases.
Limitations of SAP B1
With a simple database and data sharing across the department, SAP B1 is limited by its usage for only one company domain. For a business trying to run multiple companies with shared databases, SAP Business one has its limitation. Maybe with some custom modification, a business can stretch up to a certain extent. But this is the prominent reason for companies to switch to SAP Business ByDesign.
What's SAP Business ByDesign?
SAP Business ByDesign is a proven public cloud ERP suite. Like B1, SAP Business ByDesign is quickly configurable, easy to adopt and also to scale.
SAP ByD is truly a SaaS solution operated completely from the cloud. The SAP HANA cloud database is much faster than the one B1 uses on on-premise (Microsoft SQL). That means you get more functionalities than SAP B1 at a better speed.
