As we have already read in some places, SAP Business One is now also available in an official SAP rental version. SAP offers to make this available via hosting through suitable partners. This so-called BAiO (Subscription-based Hosting) concept has been available for SAP All-In-One for some time and is now to be extended to Business One.
The monthly price of a licence is made up of the licence rental and the hosting costs. For this fee, you get SAP Business One "out of the socket". So almost a SaaS model?
However, in the case of SAP Business One, you have to pay attention to the details: At the moment, only the B1 - Core licences are available in rental mode. All Add ons must still be purchased. Furthermore, smaller customers in particular are unlikely to be happy with the pro rata hosting costs.
However, companies with a large number of licences in particular may find this model appealing if they are interested in the scalability of their installation.
