Introduction to SAP Business One

SAP Business One is an ERP software designed by SAP to meet the ever-changing requirements of small and medium-sized enterprises. It is a service management software that can be scaled up along with enterprise development.

Based on deployment and O&M modes, SAP Business One products include traditional B1, B1 Cloud, and B1 OnDemand.

Traditional B1: is deployed by enterprises.
B1 Cloud: is provided in the form of SaaS on public cloud.
B1 OnDemand: is provided in the form of SaaS by SAP hosting providers.

Based on database types, SAP Business One products include B1, B1A, and B1H.

B1: uses traditional non-HANA databases.
B1A: The analysis part of B1 uses HANA databases for acceleration, but the application part still uses traditional databases for data replication.
B1H: B1 uses the HANA database. In this way, OLTP and OLAP are processed in the same database to achieve the best performance.
