If you are looking for a one-stop solution that can truly partner your growth, SAP’s Business ByDesign is what you are looking for. Read on to know why:
Comprehensive Solution
SAP Business ByDesign was born in the cloud, and conceptualized from the ground up, starting with basic processes that every business needs, and building on them, block by block.

What you get is one comprehensive integrated solution that connects your entire company with a single source of truth data.

Most mid-sized companies have to combat growing complexities as the business expands. As you respond to sudden upsurges in demand, add new product lines or open business in new locations, your old business processes may just not hold up, or worse still – may even obstruct business growth. SAP, being the unquestionable leader in ERP solutions worldwide, has made available over 35 time-tested and best in class business processes in Business ByDesign, that was honed and perfected across more than 100,000 ERP implementations in over 100 countries and scores of industries.

You do not need to invest in specialized hardware or software, or even an in-house IT team. All you need are the requisite user devices and an internet connection.
Subscription pricing is simple and transparent, with no rude surprises throughout your contract term. The pricing follows a ‘per user’ fee model, with three categories of users: Self-service users for expense reporting, procurement, etc., Team users for role-based usage such as HR, accounting etc., and Enterprise users, who have full access. With a minimum of 20 users, customers can opt for Public Cloud hosting with shared infrastructure. On a monthly or even a yearly basis, the price is on par with most other cloud ERP products.

Business ByDesign also leverages SAP’s state of the art infrastructure and highest data security norms. It is hosted in tier three and tier four data centres, with world-class systems and processes, and highest compliance standards for data security and disaster recovery.
Real-Time Business Insights
In most ERP products, transactional data has always been accessible, but not insights. Users had to create aggregates to make sense of the data, which made analysis tedious and unmanageable. Additional modules for analytics only made insights more of an after-thought. SAP’s Business ByDesign, however, runs on the HANA database, which offers unparalleled speed and in-memory storage architecture that enables inbuilt insights in the blink of an eye, without any coding. Customers can cut and slice the data and look at granular reports as required, or simply choose from over 500 ready report formats. This kind of agility in reports supports faster decisions, which in turn translates into agility in business.
Scalability

It is also a global solution being used in over 140 countries. You can leverage SAP’s enhanced localisation capabilities and quickly adapt to languages, currencies, tax requirements and even local industry best practices as you grow your business beyond borders.

Besides, customers can easily add specialized capabilities by integrating with other SAP cloud solutions such as SAP Concur, Ariba, Hybris Advanced Analytics etc.
Moreover, it is an open-ended solution that enables integrations with a wide variety of applications, be it a data, process, analytical or UI integration.

Users can personalize their work-space and view business-critical reports across feature-rich and completely customizable dashboards. They can access their workspace from anywhere at any time, set up custom workflows and approvals, change labels on fields and even add extension fields – all within the system, with no programming needed.
