sale of SAP Business ByDesign is not an isolated event. It is the result of a development that began 28 years ago and is now consistently culminating in the cloud.<\/p><p data-start=\"207\" data-end=\"612\">With the launch of SAP Business One in 2002, SAP specifically targeted the market of small and growing businesses. The solution was designed as a traditional on-premise software with a technical core based on integrated standard processes for SMEs. Its primary focus was on supporting day-to-day business operations in finance, reporting, sales, procurement, warehousing and simpler production processes.<\/p><p data-start=\"614\" data-end=\"1071\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">In 2007, SAP introduced another new solution in the SaaS ERP segment. With SAP Business ByDesign, SAP launched its first fully cloud-based ERP solution. This new cloud approach was aimed at internationally operating mid-sized companies and provided integrated end-to-end processes &#8220;on demand&#8221; without requiring an in-house IT infrastructure. In this respect, the solution was ahead of its time and marked the beginning of SAP\u2019s cloud transformation journey.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8cb7bc6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"8cb7bc6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The Evolution of ERP at SAP, from On-Premise Systems to Public Cloud<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7703830 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7703830\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"82\">The development of these solutions followed a clearly defined strategic direction:<\/p><p data-start=\"84\" data-end=\"599\">From 2000 until around 2010, traditional on-premise ERP systems with a high degree of customisation and locally operated infrastructure dominated the market. During this period, cloud solutions still played only a minor role. With SAP Business ByDesign, SAP introduced one of the first integrated cloud ERP solutions during this decade, although from both a functional and architectural perspective it did not yet meet today\u2019s cloud standards. The cloud only became a strategic priority for SAP several years later.<\/p><p data-start=\"601\" data-end=\"980\">With the official launch of SAP S\/4HANA in 2015, SAP introduced the next generation of ERP systems. Based on the in-memory database SAP HANA, the new architecture enabled real-time processing, a simplified data model and close integration between operational and analytical processes for the first time. This created the foundation for modern cloud- and AI-driven ERP solutions.<\/p><p data-start=\"982\" data-end=\"1272\">Since 2019\/2020, the strategic direction has become unmistakably clear: SAP has consistently pursued a cloud-first strategy and positioned SAP S\/4HANA Cloud Public Edition (also referred to as SAP Cloud ERP) as its central and future-oriented ERP platform.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6ca82ec e-ecs-flex e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"6ca82ec\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ecs_container_type&quot;:&quot;flex&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2b394fd elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2b394fd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Evaluation of the current development of SAP ERP solutions<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f310993 e-ecs-flex e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"f310993\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ecs_container_type&quot;:&quot;flex&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7128aef elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7128aef\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">SAP Business ByDesign: End of Sales for New Customers from April 2026<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c1103b7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c1103b7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p data-start=\"1274\" data-end=\"1773\">Against this background, the decision to discontinue the sale of SAP Business ByDesign to new customers is a logical step. The end of sales became effective on 20th April 2026. Existing customers can continue to use their systems and will still receive support and maintenance. However, active functional development had already been discontinued several years ago. So far, no official end-of-life date has been communicated.<\/p><p data-start=\"1775\" data-end=\"2010\">At the same time, SAP\u2019s innovation focus is increasingly shifting towards modern cloud platforms. For companies, this means addressing their ERP future at an early stage and establishing the right cloud ERP strategy for their business.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4e78e20 e-ecs-flex e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"4e78e20\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ecs_container_type&quot;:&quot;flex&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e6cf622 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"e6cf622\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">SAP Business One: Stable, but with Limited Long-Term Perspective<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a7c1ba0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a7c1ba0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p data-start=\"2012\" data-end=\"2350\">According to the current status, SAP Business One will remain part of the SAP portfolio and will continue to play a role for smaller mid-sized businesses. However, customers should verify whether their current version is approaching the end of its maintenance period.<\/p><p data-start=\"2352\" data-end=\"2736\">Particularly in scenarios involving growing internationalisation or increasing process complexity, the solution reaches its limits. The key question is therefore less about its current stability and more about its long-term viability once scalability limits are reached. In addition, it is becoming increasingly apparent that innovation efforts are focused on new cloud architectures.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4e81179 e-ecs-flex e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"4e81179\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ecs_container_type&quot;:&quot;flex&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-242c22f elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"242c22f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The New Target Platform: SAP S\/4HANA Cloud Public Edition<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-62f919c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"62f919c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p data-start=\"2738\" data-end=\"2979\">SAP\u2019s answer is clear: SAP S\/4HANA Cloud Public Edition, or SAP Cloud ERP, is becoming the central platform for mid-sized companies.<\/p><p data-start=\"2981\" data-end=\"3246\">The solution is particularly aimed at companies in manufacturing, wholesale and distribution, professional services, and consumer products industries. As such, it directly addresses the same target groups that previously relied on Business ByDesign or Business One.<\/p><p data-start=\"3248\" data-end=\"3736\">Through standardised best-practice processes, rapid implementation and continuous innovation, the Public Cloud provides a future-proof foundation for growth and internationalisation. Companies benefit from a modern architecture that enables both efficiency and scalability. This also makes the solution highly attractive for holdings, subsidiaries with sales offices and start-ups looking to establish a modern SAP ERP landscape without requiring a high degree of process customisation.<\/p><p data-start=\"3738\" data-end=\"3877\">Would you like to learn more about implementing S\/4HANA Public Cloud?
