What’s the difference between the SAP Business One starter package and the „traditional” SAP Business One?

A common question that I get asked is, whats the difference between the full SAP Business One solution and the starter package?

And the answer is pretty  simple.

We recognised that there were a whole group of smaller businesses out there that would love to take advantage of the SAP Business One solution but they didn’t necessarily need some of the functionality such as service, MRP, cost accounting but they wanted the integrated accounting, CRM,mobility and reporting capability that SAP Business One offered and they only needed a small number of users – in some cases just a single user.

So we created the starter package, which is the same core SAP Business One application code with a limited scope of functionality and a 5 user limit on the solution as well as a simplified licensing model ie just a single license type – starter package user as opposed to the different license types such as the professional user, indirect access user or limited CRM, limited logistics or limited finance user.

Put together with a very simple and prescriptive implementation approach that can be delivered at a fixed price in many cases and you have the ideal solution for companies looking to get a great start with a solution that can grow with them….not require replacing as the business grows.

To make it even clearer I have attached this functional comparison grid between the starter package and the SAP Business One Professional User – click on the thumbnail to view the full size document.
