When selecting your SAP Business One partner, it’s important to think both short- and long-term. For example, just because one provider offers more services or a lower tag price, doesn’t mean it is the best solution for you and your business.
When the topic of SAP Business One support and maintenance gets mentioned, most folks think about maintenance plans, warranty, and renewal. While these are extremely
important topics to discuss with your SAP Business One partner, they only represent a small percentage of what should be included in your support plan.
The annual maintenance fee associated with SAP Business One includes two separate components. The first is a percentage that is remitted to SAP for on-going product development and support, and the second portion is retained by your SAP Business One Support Partner for the provision of support services.
It can be helpful to understand why different SAP Business One partner offerings have differences before making a final decision.
The support offered in a particular SAP Business One Support Partner package may not suit your business’s requirements. It is prudent to consider the nature of your business and whether the support offered in your selected package will facilitate rather than hinder the growth and development of your business.
