We are pleased to announce that the SAP Business One 8.8 has successfully exited Ramp-Up and moved into unrestricted shipment. The new release of SAP’s small business software, encompasses many new features and enhancements which will allow customers to respond even faster to market needs and accelerate profitable growth.

SAP Business One is a world-class, integrated ERP application that addresses the core business requirements of the small businesses. With the latest release of SAP Business One 8.8, SAP is delivering the following benefits to customers’ business:

Enhanced user experience and productivity – New product release introduces a new graphical user interface with a more modern look and feel, enhanced error message clarity, error tracing and online help, as well as significant performance improvements that increase the user experience and simplify daily operations and transactional activities

Greater visibility into operations and financial performance – SAP Business One 8.8 is fully integrated with the Crystal Reports® software and enables embedding Xcelsius visualizations into Crystal Reports, providing easy-to-use reports and embedded analytics designed to increase the transparency of business operations, improve decision making, and drive performance. For example, executive dashboards can track key performance indicators (KPIs) such as inventory levels and sales revenue. Or enable you to drill down from KPIs to directly take actions and adjust operations.

New functionality and improved processes – There are major improvements in financials, banking, sales, purchasing and inventory that streamline and automate core business processes. Enhanced features include down payment, payment wizard, support for
multiple units of measure in various documents, pick and pack, available to promise (ATP), aging, and cost accounting

A solid, flexible foundation ready to support growth – Refined system architecture with improvements in the source code, and unified code base for localizations significantly reduce the complexity of the product. These enhancements not only reduce the cost of supporting and maintaining the software but also enable timely access to latest enhancements, product releases, and upgrades for all customers around the world. In SAP Business One 8.8, several enhancements have also been made to the
various components of the software development kit (SDK) that will now allow software solution partners (SSPs) to innovate with greater speed and less resources.

Reduced total cost of ownership – With SAP Business One 8.8, customers have the opportunity to reduce total cost of ownership by simplifying their IT support and maintenance through remote support platform (RSP), leveraging the new Upgrade Wizard and the Data Archiving tool that are developed through years of experience. For example, RSP can proactively monitor customers’ systems and prevent issues from happening by automatically sending status reports, alerts and healing tasks, securing customers daily operations. The new data archiving feature, on the other hand, allows customers to improve the utilization of their database and achieve leaner, faster system
performance.
