Why Choose SAP Business One in the Cloud?

Scalability

Printing in the Cloud – Simple & Flexible
An often-overlooked aspect of working in the cloud is printing documents. With our SAP Business One Cloud Hosting solution, you enjoy complete flexibility and convenience here as well.
Universal Printing – Maximum Flexibility
With the integrated Universal Printer, you can print documents directly from your cloud environment to any local printer.
- Platform-independent: Works with all common operating systems.
- Easy to use: Print jobs are automatically converted into PDFs and can be sent straight to your local printer.
- No driver issues: No need to install special printer drivers.
- Direct export: Documents can alternatively be saved as PDF files and forwarded.
This means whether you generate invoices, delivery notes, or reports in SAP Business One – you can print them anytime from the cloud using your usual printer.
Virtual Printing – Even More Efficient for Remote Work
The Virtual Printer takes it a step further by seamlessly connecting your cloud environment with your local printing system.
- Feels like local printing: For the user, it works just like printing directly from their own computer.
- High speed: Even large documents are processed quickly.
- Encrypted transfer: Print jobs are securely transmitted between the cloud and your device.
- Wide compatibility: Supports nearly all printer models, regardless of manufacturer.
Especially for home offices or distributed teams, the Virtual Printer is a major advantage: every employee can print documents directly from SAP Business One to their local workplace printer – with no complex configuration.
Advanced Security Mechanisms
Our solution goes beyond traditional password protection. To ensure secure access to SAP Business One, multiple layers of security are in place:
- Encrypted Data Transmission using modern TLS protocols.
- SSL Certificates for secure connections between devices and the cloud.
- Optional Two-Factor Authentication to provide an additional layer of protection.
- Regular Monitoring by our administrator team to detect potential threats.
Centralized Administration by Our Expert Team
So you can fully focus on your core business, we take over the complete administration of your remote access environment:
- Setup and configuration are carried out by our team.
- Access rights are managed according to your specifications.
- Updates and security patches are implemented centrally.
- No direct customer access to the administration interface – we ensure the environment is always stable, secure, and fully compliant.
Flexible Access Scenarios for Users
Your employees benefit from multiple access options – without requiring you to adjust any settings yourself:
- Browser Access via HTML5 – ideal for mobile use or devices without special software.
- Remote Desktop Connection – full desktop experience, even for complex ERP processes.
- Published Applications – users only see the programs they actually need.
License and Resource Management in the Background
We take care of license and resource management centrally, so you don’t have to:
- License Management for all users via our administration system.
- Resource Optimization – storage, computing power, and access are automatically adjusted to your needs.
- Cost Control – no over-licensing or unused resources.
Web Client for SAP Business One in Cloud Hosting

Benefits of the Web Client
