SAP Business One Implementation Highlights – Alba Spectrum

SAP B1 is relatively new ERP and MRP on the US and international accounting application market for small and mid-size businesses. SBO can also serve to large corporation in spoke-and-hub environment where your branch deploys SB1 with upstream integration to mySAP/R3 or in non-SAP ERP. As you probably feel, being IT professional, that technology is a “bottleneck”, or at least it should be considered seriously, when you are talking about mid-size business with unique business processes, and making the story more dramatic – all modern mid-size businesses probably see their business

processes as unique and proprietary

Sales cycle is simple with SB1 as its interface is very intuitive and such often complex business processes as rentals, warranty contracts, discrete manufacturing, pick and pack in inventory control, CRM, HR, eCommerce – if you see Sap Business One demonstration, you probably feel that you trust this modern ERP

2. SAP Business One Licensing. At this time, 2008 SB1 has full named user, which is just below three thousand dollars, plus it has variations of CRM user licenses: web based only, service and sales, costing eight and nine hundred per named user respectively
