Perhaps Our Biggest Opportunity Ever
The world of small businesses and midsize companies is so vast that its exact size is difficult to quantify. For example, government sources estimate that there are 25 million small businesses in the United States alone. And as the Internet and globalization continue to create strong demand among these businesses for world-class software, the small and midsize segment represents the greatest market opportunity in SAP’s three-decade history.
With three product lines that address this opportunity, SAP has established itself as the one software company that truly understands small businesses and midsize companies – and has the solutions to prove it.
Helping Small Businesses Meet Big Challenges
Having worked with tens of thousands of small businesses and midsize companies worldwide, SAP understands the unique challenges of doing business in today’s global economy. For example, today’s small businesses and midsize companies must meet the same trade and security regulations as their larger counterparts. They must translate the same languages and currencies. They must adopt the same sophisticated processes for managing customer relationships, supplier relationships, and supply chains. They must network in the same manner with business partners worldwide. And while their current software requirements may be limited, they aspire to a level of growth that will mandate greater capabilities in the future.
The good news is, small businesses and midsize companies don’t need to face these challenges with traditional “off-the-shelf” software that offers limited features and growth potential, or costly custom-designed applications. Because SAP has applied its unprecedented knowledge of global best practices, and its unparalleled experience, to create the world’s broadest family of software for small businesses and midsize companies.
SAP’s offerings for small businesses and midsize companies now comprise three families of solutions that are powerful and highly sophisticated – yet very easy to implement and use. And the entrepreneurial market has responded with characteristic enthusiasm.
SAP Business All-in-One
SAP Business All-in-One is the right solution for midsize
companies with deep industry-specific needs. SAP

markets and specific geographic regions. SAP
