Why choose SAP Business ByDesign for your company?

Where digital transformation is a given, SMEs need an ERP that covers finance, purchasing, supply chain, projects, HR and customer relations without carrying their own infrastructure.

Traditional ERP

  • High upfront investment in infrastructure
  • In-house acquisition and maintenance costs
  • Scaling tied to buying more hardware

SAP Business ByDesign (SaaS)

  • Subscription pricing: fixed, predictable spend
  • Operating cost instead of acquisition cost
  • New users and features at the pace of growth
