SAP Business One is a great addition to your business. However, managing its infrastructure involves a considerable cost. Companies must manage several factors such as ERP licenses, servers, infrastructure maintenance, backups, security, and human resources. Each comes at a cost that often becomes unmanageable for most small and mid-sized companies.
SAP Business One Cloud supports business growth. However, on the other hand, you can never stop thinking about the unpredictable costs of your IT infrastructure! Accelon’s B1Cloud turns things around.
Built specifically for SAP Business One (SQL and HANA), B1Cloud delivers faster performance and provides enterprise-grade security, while helping you scale at a fraction of the cost.
The platform empowers MSMEs in particular, helping them unlock the full value of their ERP with a cost-effective cloud solution you can set up easily and which supports business growth. It offers a predictable subscription model that curtails SAP Business One infrastructure costs. Let’s explore.
- Eliminating CapEx to Generate Higher ROI
Conventional on-premises deployments demand heavy upfront investments in high-performance physical servers, database infrastructure, backup arrays, and networking hardware. But B1Cloud shifts your SAP Business One on Cloud hosting to an operational expenditure framework, eliminating upfront CapEx.
You pay a flat, transparent fee, starting at predictable monthly rates per user ($25 for SQL / $35 for HANA). Switching to B1Cloud eliminates costly hardware purchases, server room upgrades, or surprise capital calls, allowing businesses to accelerate time-to-market and maximize ROI.
- Transforming Infrastructure Spending into a Predictable Subscription
B1Cloud works on a subscription model. Therefore, instead of paying for irregular, unpredictable hardware replacement, maintenance, and infrastructure upgrades, you pay a recurring fee based on your users. Essentially, you pay a predictable cost that allows you to plan a part of your IT expenses effectively.
- Curbing Server Maintenance and IT Infrastructure Costs
Owning servers is great. But it also means maintaining and managing them. While operating your own servers, you must also account for hardware, maintenance, upgrades, replacements, storage, and IT resources.
Switching to B1Cloud relieves you of the responsibility. After onboarding the platform, infrastructure responsibilities are handled as part of the hosted environment. The solution is designed and optimized for SAP Business One by using SAP-recommended setups and practices.
Businesses hosting SAP Business One on B1Cloud see a ~ 35% drop in their on-premises and IT infrastructure costs. Thanks to B1Cloud’s subscription-based hosting and fewer hardware requirements.
- Avoiding Paying for Infrastructure Before You Need It
While using traditional infrastructure, businesses must often plan for future capacity. This may call for purchasing servers and storage to accommodate future growth, even when they don’t need these elements immediately.
However, B1Cloud helps transform the situation with its flexible model. The platform doesn’t have any minimum user requirement. Therefore, you can begin with as many as one user and scale as you need. Besides, it offers unrestricted storage, bandwidth, and usage according to the service offering. As a result, you do not have to invest in or pay for infrastructure before you need it.
- Including Backups and Upgrades in the Hosting Environment
Usually, companies associate infrastructure costs with just hardware. But hardware is a part of the gamut. Infrastructure costs also include data protection, backup, and system upgrade costs and resources.
B1Cloud manages backups and upgrades efficiently. It stores automated backups off-site daily. Additionally, it ensures proactive updates that keep your infrastructure secure and relevant.
Therefore, you don’t have to build separate infrastructure processes and policies around your SAP Business One environment. With B1Cloud, you can turn many ongoing IT responsibilities into part of the managed cloud service.
- Paying for a Comprehensive SAP Business One-Specific Cloud Environment
B1Cloud is built for SAP Business One. The platform supports both SQL and HANA environments. Its infrastructure is optimized for SAP Business One performance and includes access to Crystal Reports, DTW, HANA Studio, and SQL Server Management Studio.
Access to such components refers to a hosting environment designed around the actual requirements of the ERP instead of a generic infrastructure setup you must configure and manage independently.
- Lowering the Cost of Downtime and Distributed Access
B1Cloud provides browser-based access to SAP Business One from different locations and devices. It ensures 99.9% availability for its hosting infrastructure and highlights faster access to real-time information and collaboration across locations and remote teams.
So, if you have multiple branches, distributed teams, or frequently travelling employees, such accessibility can reduce reliance on office-based infrastructure while keeping users connected to business information.
