Business By Design Feature pack : What next?




What next in SAP Business ByDesign?

SAP’s Business ByDesign was launched in the year of 2007. And the solutions delivered via future packs and acquired many users and their engagements.Business ByDesign has managed to stand up over 1,400 deployments in 15 countries. And more and more, these deployments are occurring outside of the traditional SME market, which is usually capped at 500 employees. On January 1, 2013, 8,500 users in the Department of Trade and Investment in New South Wales, Australia, will go live on Business ByDesign, making it the largest implementation yet.

With SAP HANA as the platform. This is the major technology innovation on SAP’s 2013 road map for Business ByDesign. In this case, the integration of HANA has little to do with speeding up processes, since Business ByDesign customers already process most of their data in main memory. 

The 4 main areas of improvement in next feature pack :

Business enhancements

In the area of professional services, new functions include external forecast integration and inter-company automation.In terms of core ERP functionality, Business ByDesign users will get new tools in the area of wholesale and manufacturing, such as a sales kit, subcontracting, batch management, and pricing flexibility.

Subsidiary support

SAP Business ByDesign can also be deployed for subsidiaries of large enterprises. In what is called a two-tier ERP approach, companies deploying SAP Business Suite can integrate their backend with subsidiaries using ByDesign.

Software development kit (SDK)

It allows companies to get very specific industry functionality in SAP Business ByDesign, which SAP simply doesn’t have the resources to provide. 

Technology innovation

SAP plans to run Business ByDesign on the SAP HANA platform. Next year, it will also move from Microsoft Silverlight to HTML5.

Hi

Thanks for this summary.

I was wondering where you got the figure of 1400 deployments?

Also, would you have a view on who makes the best partner for Business By Design. A traditional SAP partner or someone from outside the fold?
