Reg: Diff between SAP business suite and Business One

[Former Member]

Hi Guru,

We are planning to implement SAP in our industry.

Now we are planning to implement SAP Business one. After three years we will bring in complete SAP implementation.

1.Can you please tell the difference between complete SAP Implementation and SAP B1.

2.Could you please explain, if we implement SAP B1 right now. will there be any problem if we go for complete implementation.

3.If the business grows above one billion,will B1 hold good?

4.What is the business suite?

Thanks & Regards,

S.Nehru

Nehru,

thank you for considering SAP solutions.

W regards to question 1 and 4, in short:

SAP Business Suite on traditional relational databases or on HANA is the most extensive SAP set of SAP Business application and includes the SAP applications ERP, CRM, SCM (Supply Chain) SRM (Supplier Relationship) and PLM (Product Lifecycle)
A1 is based on SAP Business Suite and tailored by SAP partners.

B1 is a separate product, so is Business by Design.

All solutions are integrated and used by the largest global enterprises and their subsidiaries as well as by SME small and midsize enterprises, depending on their requirements.

Please see Solution overview of SME solution for more details on A1, B1 and Business by Design.

In addition to the Business Applications, SAP also offers Business Networks Solutions like ARIBA and Concur.

The majority of SAP customers are SME customers: At the end of the third quarter of 2014, SAP has more than 263,000 customers, of which more than 80 percent, or 212,500, are SME's.

Without knowing more details, it would be not professional from my site to provide an answer to your question 2 and 3. Please work with your local SAP partner or SAP Account Executive to validate your approach.

Thank you
