Positioning of SAP Business One application

Designed for small and midsize businesses*, SAP Business One is:

Complete – All essential business functions (accounting, customer relationship management (CRM),

operations, sales, marketing, service, warehousing, and more) are available out of the box. Complete

visibility and better control help you run your end-to-end business processes professionally.

Integrated – All business functions come in one package, which makes them easy to set up, use, and

optimize. Integration with other systems is possible via standard integration packages or open application

programming interfaces (APIs).

Extensible – A flexible platform with 41 localizations and 27 languages allows for growth and innovation.

More than 500 pre-integrated, industry-specific, and horizontal solutions are available via SAP partners.

Innovative – Delivers real-time analytics and mobile access, combined with ground-breaking technologies,

such as in-memory computing, to put you ahead of the competition.

Truly affordable – Start with a basic on-premise implementation with a few users. Or use the starter

package**, which includes both software and implementation, as a quick, low-cost, low-risk option with

limited capacity for up to five users. A cloud solution is available for a monthly fee.

* Including subsidiaries or remote offices of large enterprises; ** Not available in all regions
