Estimates
If you've decided to move your company to an integrated business management solution such as SAP Business One, planning ahead for the resources required to implement a new solution will help you avoid any potential surprises.
We price our services and the SAP Business One software competitively, so if you need a solution like SAP Business One the services and software costs should be priced exactly the same way for any similar product.
See our implementation scenarios below for some estimates for three different types of companies implementing SAP Business One. Do contact us to discuss pricing specific to your business.
The cost of the software – typically calculated by the number of user licenses you need – is one of several items for which you will need to budget. Depending on the complexity of your solution, there may also be costs related to migrating your data to the new solution, customizing the user interface, and aligning the solution with your existing applications. In some cases, this may be as simple as exporting QuickBooks information to SAP Business One. In more complex implementations, you may need to work with the Business Evolution Group team to ensure that financial, customer, inventory, and other information that resides on legacy systems can be migrated to the new solution efficiently.
As a small or midsize business, you will be working with us to develop and install your solution, as well as manage long-term service and support. While Business Evolution Group will oversee implementation of the SAP Business One application, you will also need someone in-house to manage the consultant relationship and ensure that the project timeline is moving forward. This may fall to your IT Manager, Accountant or Operations Manager, or to another project coordinator.
You also will need to budget for training and education. As is the case with any new technology implementation, proper training reduces user resistance to the transition and ensures that employees can take advantage of the solution's full potential.

Implementation Scenarios
Let's take a look at three characteristic scenarios for implementing the SAP Business One application. Please talk to us about actual implementation costs for your organisation in your location.
Basic Implementation
A small, local provider of professional services with annual revenues of about $2 million selects SAP Business One. This is a small implementation, with a license for only three users. Since it is for a services provider, it requires a simple configuration of only basic financial and CRM capabilities. There is no or very little need for customization, data migration, and no integration, so the entire installation can take as little as 1-2 weeks effort with 3-4 training days.
Implementation Estimate $10,000 to $25,000 or potentially less than $900 per month with financing.
Typical Implementation
A $16 million apparel distributor has outgrown its QuickBooks or MYOB solution and decides to upgrade to the SAP Business One application. The company needs a more integrated solution; the configuration includes financials, CRM, inventory, purchasing, and production modules. The implementation requires some limited customization for reporting and user interfaces. Financial data must be migrated from QuickBooks, while contact information must be integrated with data that resides in Microsoft Outlook. Implementation could take a few weeks or more including training days for the company's employees.
Implementation Estimate $35,000 to $75,000 or potentially less than $1450 per month with financing.
Comprehensive Implementation
A national manufacturer with annual revenues of $40 million has specific supply chain management requirements that it needs the SAP Business One application to meet. With 15 user licenses, the SAP Business One application's configuration will include financials, CRM, inventory, purchasing, manufacturing resource planning (MRP), and human resources management. This complex implementation – which may take as long as three months – will require extensive customization in areas such as workflow, alerts, reporting, and managing multiple locations. Existing accounting, customer, inventory, and materials data needs to be migrated from custom legacy systems. The solution also must work seamlessly with other solutions, including Microsoft Outlook, project scheduling applications, forecasting software, and the systems of key business partners.
Implementation Estimate $75,000 to less than $200,000, or potentially less than $2500 per month with financing.
