Brief Product Description and Pricing

The SAP Business ByDesign solution is designed as a “Software as a Service” (SaaS) solution for medium to enterprise size companies that quickly scales in users and transactions as the company grows.

It has a strong traditional accounting and financial management foundation. Business ByDesign is in a very small league of solutions that have been developed over the past decade to take advantage of Internet- or cloud-based processing. This gives the solution a great deal of flexibility as well as reducing the total cost of ownership over traditional in-house, or on-premise, accounting solutions.

The product is very recent, having entered the U.S. market over the past few years; therefore, not all features and functionality that might be expected from a traditional solution may be available. Review the solution carefully and compare it with the present needs of your company.

SAP Business ByDesign starts at $149 US per user, per month ($199 for manufacturing). This is current United States pricing and includes the base-user license for financials, project management, personnel administration, compensation, time and labor management, marketing, sales, contract management, purchase request and order management, and standard built-in analytics and reports. Advanced warehouse, manufacturing, and shop floor options are available separately. Lower pricing for “efficiency” (limited use) users is available. Licensing starts at ten users.
