Who cares to SAP Business ByDesign ?

[former_member186095]

Dear All,

I am surprised when heard about SAP Business ByDesign (SAP BBD). I have posted here the message title : The Future of SAP Business One and most of us care to this issue.

It seems to me this new product planned to be a bridge between All-in-One and SAP B1, so the SMB could feel how it tastes to use semi All-in-One without paying a lot for installation.

What will be happened to SAP Business One ? Upgrading to SAP BBD ? Is SAP B1 going to be not available anymore cause seems many patch level release to fix errors ?

I wish all of us here could give comments or opinion including SAP staff itself.

Judging by Henning Kagermann speech in Septermber, I got the feeling that SBO will be eventually be replaced by SAP BBD.

Dear all,

pls find here a comparison of SAP's SME business solutions: http://www.sap.com/solutions/sme/solution_comparison/index.epx

Hope this helps understanding that SAP Business One and SAP Business by Design are adressing different needs and target markets.

Hello,

Tks for your info. Who is Henning Kagermann ? what are the causes that provocated her to speak it ? If the SBO is diminished ? it means SAP AG want all current SAP B1 end users upgrade it to SAP BBD. Will it not make them angry ?

I suspect that SAP fails to maintain SAP B1 because to many patch levels, errors , bugs and anything that could lead the SAP brand name down like meteorite down from sky to earth...

From this page http://www.sap.com/solutions/sme/businessbydesign/customers/index.epx it appears the product is not only ready for market, but SAP already has several customers using it and giving testimonials. I find this surprising, as when I inquired to an SAP rep via phone, I was told there was no such product, and "not to hold my breath" waiting for one to be developed.
