When I think back 5 years and remember how SAP Business One When it started, the idea at that time was almost absurd that the smallest and youngest „child“ of SAP would reach a stage where it would justify a blog.
Just like in real life: Children grow up. Some take things a little more leisurely as they grow up, others follow an orderly and predictable career path. And then there are some who develop very surprisingly. SAP Business One is probably one of the latter: over 20,000 installations worldwide speak for themselves.
The really exciting thing for me, however, is the concept behind the SAP Business One has developed. We are certainly dealing with a mature ERP for small and medium-sized companies, which, incidentally, in my opinion currently has the best user interface in this environment. The integration of the processes and the logic behind them is also of a high standard (which is also expected from SAP). But that wouldn't really be enough material for a blog. What's really interesting are the partners and how SAP uses them.
In addition to sales and integration partners like us, there are now a large number of development partners who use add-ons to turn SAP Business One into a highly flexible tool. This starts with small functional enhancements and extends to complete industry applications that make many a nominally larger competitor sweat. This is not a side effect of an open environment that allows such things, but is a strategy to get innovation on the road as quickly as possible.
The momentum that this development has taken on is rapid and is enough on its own to be accompanied in a blog.
In addition, the entire ERP market is in a noticeable state of flux. The topic SaaS is causing a lot of unrest. Although it has to be said: Currently more among manufacturers than among customers.
Observing, accompanying and commenting on all this should be enough material...
