SAP Business byDesign

SAP Business ByDesign is the most complete, fully integrated business management solution delivered on-demand. The solution is a core part of the SAP on demand portfolio and is specifically designed to provide SMEs with the benefits of a large scale business management application without the need for a large IT infrastructure. It enables companies to implement preconfigured business processes to solve immediate problems, and to benefit from an affordable, fixed and predictable price point.

Delivered through a single user interface, SAP Business ByDesign provides the best of SAP on-demand through a suite of robust applications for managing financials, customer relationships, human resources, projects, procurement, and supply chain, in addition to deep embedded analytics and reporting. The solution has been designed such that customers can either implement the entire suite or start by adopting those components they need to address current business requirements (starter packages are currently available for CRM opportunity management, professional services and core ERP) and add incremental functionality later.

The solution is delivered on demand and managed, monitored, and maintained by SAP experts in world-class hosted data centers. SAP takes care of the maintenance and installation of upgrades so companies can focus on their business and not on IT. In addition, SAP provides Business ByDesign customers with the financial certainty and trust that comes with being the global leader in business applications. It is currently available to early customers in India, China, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

WHAT IS SOFTWARE-AS-A-SERVICE (SAAS)?

Business applications delivered as an on-demand service via a secure Internet connection and a standard Web browser are referred to as software-as-a-service (SaaS). Most SaaS solutions have a pay-per-use fee versus a large up-front investment. SaaS enables many companies to spend less money and IT effort on managing their solutions, so they can focus on their core competencies.

How do you know if SaaS is a good fit for you?

Do you have limited capital budget, limited IT support, or no desire to invest in building a large in-house IT backbone?
Do you need an immediate fix for a particular area but can't risk a disruption to your business all at once?
Are you using manual processes, spreadsheets, or basic off-the-shelf applications and don't want to invest in expensive custom applications or systems?
Do you want core process automation and best practices but don’t require deep, customized functionality?
Does your company typically embrace outsourcing as a business principle?
Do you need better control and more predictable costs associated with managing and maintaining applications over the long term?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you should consider SAP Business ByDesign.
