Ecommerce InformationImplementing SAP Business One - Customization & Integration Notes
by:
Arthur Ferretti
SAP Business One has simply about 4 years of implementation history and really robust presence in the USA, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, plus it has strong positions internationally. Considering the fact of comparatively
young age – the design of the system, including object model modify
advanced customization, integration with some
heritage and new technologies. We see certain stake on Microsoft technologies, such as MS SQL Server and COM object model. Integrated CRM module allows you to deploy Microsoft Outlook client for messaging, simply to name a few. In addition to the customizability – SAP Business One has group action
integration to high end SAP, which allows this product to consolidate mid-size and small subsidiaries across the USA or internationally to your SAP corporate ERP system – franchisees network, dealerships, manufacturing facilities, etc. In this small article we wish give customization scenarios to IT managers, who are planning to deploy SAP Business One integration, customization, reporting, etc.
• SAP Business One SDK. SAP Business One Computer code Development Kit has User Interface API, Data Interface API, Java Connector. The suggested way of customization design is XML web services, which allows you integrate custom web portals with SAP Business One objects: Sales Orders, Inventory Items, Customers. Ecommerce or Web-based Extranet (collaboration with your permanent vendors and customers) would-be be a nice example.
• Implementation Partners. SAP Business One has some licensing & certifications criteria. One path allows the SAP partner to provide installations and so-called functional consulting. This means that these companies are experts of fastening
your business processes to SAP Business One standard set of modules and standard features/functionality. In our opinion – SAP BO is not only for comparatively
small to midsize businesses, but likewise for mid-size to large and even as corporate business (subsidiaries and branches). Large companies have combination of multiple systems, including heritage – often they combine some platforms: Windows, Unix/Linux, Lotus Notes Domino, Siebel CRM, Salelogix, IBM DB2 to name a few. In this situation you need partnership with technically-savvy and intimate partner
• Customization Partners. SAP Business One SDK is not an open technology and in order to get access to it SAP Partner should get SDK development training and pass certification exam. At the same time, SAP SDK uses open tools, such as Microsoft Visual Studio, for example for secret writing itself. This leads to the common practice once
Customization partners do not provide implementation and functional consulting services, but rather concentrate on development – sea
business location is likewise common. Several risk, however strength
be attributed to the fact that one organization makes business processes specification and another one realizes them in custom coding.
• Technology Partners. The better result in the custom resolution in our opinion could be achieved with SAP Business One Partner, who makes some
sides: Implementation/Functional and Customization/Development. Considering less then 10,000 SAP Business One implementations global – it strength
be difficult to find local technology partner in your area, in this case – the compromise is to use remote partner with the network of local independent contractors.
