He said, “In today’s corporate world, ERP solutions are moving away from legacy infrastructure and adapting to cloud solutions to achieve better scalability, accessibility, and functionality.

So, we needed to have a fully cloud-based ERP solution in our portfolio.”.
He further said, “After critically evaluating few leading ERP cloud-based solutions, our obvious choice was SAP Business ByDesign from the global leader of ERP systems”

They played the roles of consultant and a potential client respectively, to answer typical, yet practical questions that surface during a consultation.
Key areas that were highlighted in this segment were the user experience and accessibility of this application. Ms. Danushie demonstrated a customizable, user-friendly interface that covers a variety of modules.
In respect to accessibility, she said that different functionality roles consist of unique features that can be accessed through the SAP Business ByDesign application. For instance, if you log in as an Admin, all features will be available in the interface. But if you log in as Supply Chain, some features will be limited. She also said that this application is accessible via a URL and tab or mobile with limited features.
Another feature of SAP is its availability of customizable reports that aren’t available in other ERP solutions.
She further explained that SAP helps trace client documents from Adam and consists of keyword search support features. Not only do they provide training at the installation stage, but through the inbuilt ByDesign Library that consists of user guides and tutorials, in the form of Youtube videos too.

In addition, SAP stores backup data on the cloud as a recovery precaution.
