ByDesign Studio
For small and medium-sized businesses looking for an ERP solution, SAP Business ByDesign is an attractive option. Since the solution is cloud-based, SAP provides and maintains the systems, which means companies have fewer upfront costs. Instead, they pay subscription fees for the software on a per-user, per-month basis.
In return, companies get complete business functionality in all relevant areas, including customer relationship management, supply chain management, supplier relationship management, human resources, financials, and more. SAP Business ByDesign also includes a full set of end-to-end integration scenarios for processes like stock transfers, customer returns, payroll services, financial closing, and supply and demand planning. The solution also includes built-in service and support.
