SAP enjoys a brand reputation in China, and many multinationals and large companies use their large enterprise ERP solutions. But for the midsize market (within 1000 people), SAP faces a fierce impact from cloud-based ERP systems like NetSuite. While SAP provides solutions for both large and medium-sized enterprises, the ERP solution provided by NetSuite is specifically tailored to the branch offices of midsize enterprises or multinational companies. NetSuite's rapid development is due to the fact that midsize enterprises realize that cloud computing ERP and CRM solutions are more cost-effective than traditional ERP systems that need to install server hardware and software in office rooms. Cloud computing ERP only needs to connect the system through a Web browser, so the initial investment cost will be greatly reduced.

Differentiate between NetSuite and business one:

SAP is already aware of the advantages of cloud computing solutions for midsize businesses and is starting to develop their own cloud computing services. But since SAP has long provided large-scale ERP solutions to 500 companies, there are a few major challenges in the following two points:

1. Because SAP is trying to serve both large and medium-sized enterprises, it is a tough decision to devote as much resources to developing solutions to different types of customers.

2. At the same time, it is difficult for SAP to decide how many system settings to retain, or to replace the pure cloud computing solution. As a result, they are unclear about the range of services that midsize enterprises can offer.

Comparing SAP and NetSuite two companies for midsize businesses, it is clear that SAP is not focused on midsize markets, while NetSuite is a product tailored for this market. The solutions currently available at SAP are at least based on the following three software architecture models:

1, SAP Business Integration Server structure solution (Hardware and software installed in the customer's office of the traditional ERP structure system)

2. SAP Business Integration Managed version (traditional ERP architecture hosted on virtual Cloud servers)

3. SAP Business ByDesign version, network server architecture, similar to NetSuite SaaS ERP Solution

By contrast, NetSuite provides an on-demand ERP solution built on a purely network architecture, completely differentiated from the server architecture version. When NetSuite has spent 15 years concentrating on cloud computing technology, SAP is still hesitant about providing cloud computing solutions for midsize businesses.

One result of this is that SAP Business ByDesign has become a major failure for SAP. With the largest customer usage worldwide, only less than 1000 companies are using the product (compared to NetSuite, which has 24,000 companies in use).

There is no SAP agent in mainland China to recommend business ByDesign systems to customers. This means that business one is the only solution that SAP offers to midsize enterprises in China.

Compare NetSuite and Business one:

Implementation costs

First, it is well known that NetSuite is less expensive than SAP. Many companies ' cases show that the company's change from SAP to NetSuite systems can often save 20-30% costs, equivalent to tens of thousands of dollars.

The angle of the function

These two solutions, seemingly similar in appearance, are "business integration" models that integrate all of the key business processes into a single platform. Both solutions provide finance, inventory, production and order management, customer relationship management, and other widely used ERP modules.

Angle of the standard module

Compared to business one, NetSuite has the advantage of managing multiple branches around the world on a single platform. SAP needs to deploy a business one database at each subsidiary, and business one cannot support data transfer between subsidiaries without third-party software. However, NetSuite helps companies effectively manage multiple currencies, support the consolidation of global financial statements, and automatically update exchange rates and fiscal policies across different regions of the world.

Flexibility of system

The main feature of business one,netsuite is flexibility. Because business one uses the SQL Server architecture, it is not possible to customize the system to meet the changing business needs of the enterprise without code programming. This means that two implementations of the system are needed to adapt to future development needs for businesses that are expanding their operations and developing branches.

In contrast, NetSuite is undoubtedly the most convenient commercial ERP system in terms of customization, and NetSuite's free tools help companies to develop custom workflows from scratch, without the high technical requirements.

As a result, although the SAP brand is well-known in China, NetSuite is a better choice for the midsize market than business one in different ways.
