SAP Business One
SAP Business One is specifically aimed at businesses between 5 and 100 users whose current systems lack the power to drive them forward in terms of technological architecture, breadth if functionality and links with the Microsoft Office family of products.
SAP Business One is surprisingly affordable in comparison with other systems of similar capability. SAP’s aggressive pricing policy underlines their determination to be as successful in the SME sector as they have in the Enterprise sector.
“Integrated business management” is a tag used by most software houses these days but SAP Business One takes integration and advanced functionality to a different level. Because the system was only launched in 2003, SAP were able to utilize the latest architecture to give a host of technological advantages which actually work. Add to this a full range of parameter driven functionality and SAP B1 really can increase profitability and control by automating all of your business processes. It provides a true and unified view of operations needed to run a growing business which including the following:
• Administration
• Customer Relationship Management
• Manufacturing
• Service and Financial Accounting
• Banking
• Sales and Purchasing
• Stock Control and Warehouse Management
• Strong Reporting
Simple to use yet powerful, SAP Business one puts business users in charge, enabling them to get critical up to the minute information to make smart business decisions.
