SAP Business ByDesign

With a Cloud First strategy, SAP is committed to supporting its customers in their efforts to transition to SAP S/4HANA Cloud. Consequently, other solutions such as SAP Business ByDesign lose ground. Small and medium-sized companies (SME) are at a crossroads. What is next for them is either stay on the SAP route to eventually adopt SAP S/4HANA Private or Public Cloud or to evaluate and deploy alternative vendors and solutions.

While this transition is often perceived as difficult due to lack of resources and expertise, it is crucial to understand the importance of thorough preparation. By bringing experienced consultants onboard you raise the level of resources and expertise that a successful migration to SAP S/4HANA demands.

Definition

SAP Business ByDesign is a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution for medium-sized businesses for a variety of sectors. The solution’s flexibility and cost aspects have been reported by fast-growing companies as its main benefits. It allowed organizations to benefit from the seamless integration into business processes, easy adoption of processes, and an increased security level. In addition, the solution offers functionality in different languages.

With SAP Business ByDesign, companies were able to achieve their goals more efficiently at lower cost while increasing customer satisfaction. However, it is highly unlikely that SAP will deliver further software enhancements. On the contrary, SAP strongly recommends its installed base to switch to SAP S/4HANA. Companies in this situation must revisit, assess, and clean up their processes and data.

SAP Business ByDesign vs. SAP S/4HANA

Compared to SAP Business ByDesign, SAP S/4HANA offers several advantages. Based on the in-memory database, SAP HANA, SAP S/4HANA offers faster data processing and real-time analytics. With its wide range of functionalities, the solution supports the entire business process.

SAP S/4HANA Cloud is the solution of choice from a sustainable long-term perspective. Its benefits such as more functionality, adaptation options, and a modern user interface better support business needs. With thorough planning and experienced resources, companies will manage the transition to SAP S/4HANA Cloud and quickly realize the value it offers.
