WHAT IS SAP BYDESIGN?

Simply put, SAP Business ByDesign is a cloud-based SAP offering for SMEs to manage their end-to-end business processes. It has a very powerful core engine with huge computational capabilities and a plethora of the latest features, such as mobile-enabled apps, the SAP HANA cloud platform with in-memory core computation, built-in analytics, etc., all of which combine and work as one single unit to manage end-to-end business processes. Partnering with a certified SAP Business ByDesign partner ensures you leverage these features effectively.

It starts from simple configuration, which is basically tweaking the solution to adapt to your company’s processes, then extension, which is a customization of the application to meet certain specific processes unique to any organization and finally integration, i.e. integrating the application with 3rd party tools and solutions.
