SAP Business One License Cost

How much does SAP Business One cost?

Investing in SAP Business One involves three main cost components: license fees, maintenance fees, and implementation costs. These depend on your chosen license type (Starter Package, Professional, or Limited User License), operating model (Cloud or On-Premise), and specific business needs.

Our aim is to provide you with a clear cost estimate for the SAP Business One ERP solution, tailored for SMEs. Its adaptability makes SAP Business One a valuable and efficient investment, integrating seamlessly into your business model to enhance growth and operational efficiency.

SAP Business One Operating Models: On-Premise vs. Cloud

When deciding between SAP Business One On-Premise and the flexible SAP Business One Cloud solution, various factors such as data security, control, cost structure, and operational flexibility play a critical role.

Advantages of SAP Business One On-Premise:

  • Meets strict internal data security regulations.
  • Allows direct data control and local customizations in reporting.
  • Supports extensive customization of business processes.
  • Utilizes existing IT infrastructure and resources optimally.
  • Offers perpetual SAP Business One On-Premise license costs with initial higher expenses but lower long-term operational costs.
  • Less dependency on internet connectivity.

Advantages of SAP Business One Cloud:

  • Simple, cost-effective setup and operation.
  • Secure, browser-based work from anywhere.
  • Always up-to-date with automatic updates provided by the SAP Service Cloud provider.
  • Flexibility in operational expenses through SAP Business One Cloud license costs and subscription licensing.

SAP Business One Cost Analysis: Cloud vs. On-Premise Decisions

Deciding whether SAP Business One Cloud or On-Premise suits your business needs involves evaluating various factors including data storage concerns, dependency on IT infrastructure, and administrative responsibilities.

Cloud Considerations:

  • SAP Business One Cloud minimizes reliance on physical hardware and IT resources. Automatic updates and maintenance decrease administrative tasks.
  • Ideal for businesses looking for cost-effective, scalable solutions with reduced upfront investments.
  • Enhances operational flexibility, allowing remote access and collaboration.

On-Premise Considerations:

  • SAP Business One On-Premise licenses offer a robust solution for businesses concerned about external data hosting.
  • Companies retain complete control over updates, maintenance, and data security, requiring a more significant in-house effort and infrastructure.
  • Suitable for businesses with specific compliance or data sovereignty requirements, providing more control but at a higher operational cost.

A comprehensive comparison between SAP Business One On-Premise and Cloud solutions empowers businesses to make an informed choice based on flexibility, cost, and control preferences.

Implementation costs

The implementation of software must always be customer-specific. To give our customers an overview, we have created ready-made service packages for special target groups. If you have any questions, we will be happy to advise you and send you more information free of charge and without obligation.

Our experience shows that the ready-made implementation packages are very suitable for start-ups and small businesses. Here we can often use them without further adjustments. For medium-sized companies, we like to use the implementation packages and include additional features.

For some mid-sized companies, the requirements may be too complex, so that an implementation often takes place as part of an introduction project. It usually includes phases like requirements analysis, implementation, training, testing, go-live and documentation.

When setting up, we rely on the structured implementation methodology of SAP AIP (Accelerated Implementation Program).

Maintenance and operation

We distinguish between two different operating models of SAP Business One:

Cloud

The cloud has become increasingly important in recent years. The clear advantage of the cloud lies in its availability. This means that cloud systems can be operated seamlessly from anywhere in the world with Internet access or even from home. The cloud avoids initial investments in hardware. In particular, by linking to Microsoft Office 365, we preferably deploy our SAP Business One systems in the Microsoft Azure HANA Server Certified by SAP. The certification confirms the existence of product features in accordance with SAP certification procedures. SAP only certifies successful integration of the product with SAP solutions.

All data is thus stored on a common platform and authentication procedures can be used together.

Local customer installation or on-premise

Companies in the manufacturing industry, where SAP Business One often needs to be connected to a PDA system, like to choose a local server installation on-site. With this approach, it is important to make sure that the selected hardware is released for an SAP Business One installation.

SAP Business One license models in practice

In most cases, the cloud installations are combined with monthly subscription licensing for SAP B1, so that initial investments in purchasing licenses and hardware can be completely avoided. The monthly subscription fees already include the maintenance fees and the use of the SAP-certified Azure HANA Server. Therefore, this solution is recommended for start-ups and small businesses.

Local installations (on premise), on the other hand, are usually acquired with purchase licenses.

Training Costs

Training the end users (customers) is one of the crucial stage of SAP Accelerated Implementation Program (AIP). Customers are provided with key training documents at this phase, so that they can carry out the daily processes with zero assistance.

However, we offer post installation service and additional support if required.
