  •  Acquisitions and how they impact customers: SAP has made a number of acquisitions in the past 12 months. Some of these acquisitions are already being used by customers in Australia. Think of solutions like:
  • SAP Concur. Expense Management integrated to SAP Business One. SAP Concur can help streamline your employee expense management and integration of bank feeds for company credit cards. Automatic reconciliation of employee expenses is a breeze with SAP Concur. The team at Leverage Technologies has integrated Business One and SAP Concur expense management.

Other relationships. Given the success of SAP Business One in Australia and across the globe more and more third-party providers are integrating their solutions to SAP Business One. Recent additions to the portfolio include:

Some customers have upgraded from the MS SQL Server version to the SAP HANA version and others who have recently purchased SAP Business One have started out from day one with the SAP Business One version for HANA. With the SAP Business One version for HANA we have been able to offer customers:

  • A new Fiori style user interface with HTML5 dashboards
  • Additional dashboards, KPI and reporting capability
  • Do it yourself / self-service reporting
  • Enterprise search – search the entire SAP Business One HANA database in milliseconds.
