1. Innovate Faster and Further
Accelerate growth and innovation by
incorporating ERP functionality from
SAP in your solutions

2. Innovate with SAP® Business
One for Greater Success
Quickly exploit new business
opportunities within the SME market
You know your industry and market. Small and midsize
enterprise (SME) customers come to your company because
you understand their business, how they operate, and their
challenges, and you combine this knowledge to provide solutions
that help them run better.
In the competitive application development and packaged
software markets, success is not just about aligning to customer
needs – it’s also about adopting development and go-to-market
strategies that accelerate efficiencies, growth, and innovation,
so you can stay successful.
“Small businesses might be
intimidated by SAP software. What
they don’t realize is that SAP offers
solutions designed specifically for
small to midsize companies like ours.”
Leonard Kang, Operations Manager,
Christopher Lena Shirt Co.
Consequently, it’s important to regularly reevaluate your
R&D processes and align to core competencies, so you use
development resources efficiently and continue to deliver new
innovations for your existing customers while expanding your
customer base.
Your expansion strategies may include moving into new
geographies or turning transformational technologies
like mobile, Big Data, analytics, and cloud computing into
opportunities that tip the competitive playing field your way.
However, for application vendors offering industry- or market-
specific solutions that include core business management
software, such as enterprise resource planning (ERP), delivering
on these strategies can be doubly complex.
Building your SME solutions on the SAP® Business One
application can help you overcome this complexity.
Over the next few pages we’ll show you how.

3. “With comprehensive functionality
that covers key business
requirements, SAP Business One is
the perfect fit for small and medium
enterprises like ours.”
Nuntawat Harntaweewongsa, Accounting Manager,
C. Melchers & Co. (Thailand) Ltd.
Innovate at Speed
Develop and deliver differentiation, fast
Getting to market quickly with new niche features and functions
aimed at your market will keep customers happy and your
company ahead of the competition.
The challenge is how best to integrate standard ERP
functionality that SME customers expect into your solution.
Will you develop it in-house or maintain multiple interfaces
to third-party applications, both of which take up valuable
development resources?
SAP Business One gives you a more attractive alternative.
By building on SAP Business One you eliminate the need to
develop or maintain standard ERP functionality or links to
multiple third-party systems.
SAP Business One is an affordable, integrated business
management solution. Designed specifically for small
businesses and midsize companies, it supports the standard
financials, sales, service, purchasing, inventory, and production
processes companies need to be successful.
The application can be deployed in the cloud or on premise,
extended with analytics, and offered as a mobile app. It can be
powered by the SAP HANA® platform for a real-time customer
experience.

Focus on what you do best
Building on SAP Business
One means you can keep
your development resources
focused on what you do
best. And its modular design
means you can choose the
functions you want to start
with and expand as you
broaden your solution scope.

4. Expand Easily, Globally
Support local languages, tax regimes,
and regulations
For many independent software vendors (ISVs), the route to
profitable growth means expanding from local markets into
new countries. Other ISVs target organizations that trade
internationally or large, multinational organizations with
headquarters in their home market. Some ISVs do both.
However, ensuring your solution maintains compliance with the
myriad of tax regimes and local regulations is a complex task
that can be extremely development resource intensive.
Building on SAP Business One takes away the complexity of
delivering software that supports international standards and
trading.
SAP Business One is available in 27 languages, with legislative
compliance for 41 countries, and supports business transactions
in multiple currencies. It supports intercompany transactions,
between subsidiaries and the head office for example.
The application also has the ability to produce customer
and supplier documentation in local languages.
With SAP Business One providing the ERP functionality of your
solution, you and your customers can quickly address new
markets to increase revenue and growth.

“With SAP Business One powered
by SAP HANA, Antarc was able to
increase customer service levels in a

an incredible 90% improvement in
customer satisfaction.”

5. Repurpose Your Solution
for the Cloud
Address new market segments
Cloud computing offers your company an opportunity to develop
new revenue streams. By providing your software as a service
(SaaS), you can open up new market segments, providing a more
affordable option to cost-sensitive companies and organizations that
are sold on the values of SaaS.You can also offer more attractive
pay-as-you-go licensing options to your customers.
The challenge is the lengthy and costly exercise of repurposing
solutions to run in the cloud, especially when they include both
industry or market functions and standard ERP functionality.
The SAP Business One Cloud solution enables you to quickly deliver
an ERP cloud solution as part of your application with minimal
development work.
SAP Business One Cloud provides the same features and
functionality as the on-premise application, delivered in the cloud.
Using it you can reduce the amount of time it takes to offer your
solution as a service, while providing companies a solution that has:
• Low up-front investment
• Predictable costs
• Rapid deployment
• Anytime, anywhere access
• Resource pooling
All with no IT overhead for your customers to worry about.

deployment times.
