SAP Business ByDesign, designed around four key principles - completeness, ease of use, adaptability and significantly cutting total cost of ownership (TCO) - delivers an on-demand software solution with built-in service and support.

SAP also offers a personalized trial for invited customers to explore, evaluate and experience the solution at a competitive pricing of $149 per month per user, with lower price points for efficiency users.

Complementing the existing portfolio of SAP solutions for small businesses and midsize companies, the solution is made available for selected customers in the United States and Germany while the opportunity is opening for the customers in China, France and United Kingdom.

"With SAP Business ByDesign, we are adding a completely new business model to our on-demand marketplace," said Henning Kagermann, CEO, SAP AG.

"SAP Business ByDesign simplifies IT for midsize companies and substantially reduces the cost of ownership by combining efficiency with business flexibility. The technical advantages of SOA enter the level of business processes and allows customers to exploit the full potential of new business trends without becoming IT experts," he added.

Fundamentally different than competitive mid-market solutions, SAP Business ByDesign is a game-changing business solution that drives faster time to value, easier consumption and helps minimize customers' overall IT costs dramatically by reducing the need for user training, hardware investments, service, support and IT staffing.

Fully leveraging the enterprise service-oriented architecture, the solution was built from the ground up on SAP NetWeaver, providing a future-proof platform for business that provides for a high degree of flexibility to adapt business processes in order to address evolving market demands.

This offers midsize customers the assurance that their investment is safeguarded, as their IT solution is able to scale their requirements as their businesses grow and evolve over time.

SAP Business ByDesign complements the existing SAP Business One, SAP Business All-in-One and SAP Business Suite solutions, allowing SAP to address the business requirements of all sizes of companies from the smallest businesses, through all types of midsize companies and larger enterprises.

SAP Business One is designed for the small business segment, while SAP Business All-in-One is built specifically for midsize companies that need deep industry-specific functionality and extensibility to meet their precise requirements

"SAP's new on-demand solution for the mid-market represents a bold initiative, featuring innovations in ease of use and ease of configuration while incorporating the learning gained by SAP's years of experience in the applications business," said Henry Morris, senior vice president for Worldwide Software and Services, IDC.
