How to Move to SAP Business One Cloud

The idea of moving your ERP to the cloud usually begins with pain points. Maintaining or scaling your on-premise ERP infrastructure is getting too hard. Or you are seeing innovations that you want but can’t easily integrate with your system. Or your employees need anywhere access. Or perhaps you’re even worried about the security of your ERP system, and want the assurance that it is secure with the latest protections. These are all reasons that a small business owner starts thinking about the cloud. But how hard would it be for your business to move from an on-premise ERP to SAP Business One Cloud?

With our help, moving to SAP Business One Cloud is easier than you think.

Why Moving to SAP Business One Cloud Makes Sense

There are five good reasons why your business should move its on-premise SAP Business One ERP to the cloud.

1. Modern infrastructure. While your existing infrastructure might still work, relying on outdated technology is dangerous and time-consuming. With the cloud, your business backend always is running on the latest hardware and updated security, and without the need for periodic upgrades.
2. Scalability. When your ERP infrastructure is in the cloud, you can seamlessly scale the system as your business grows, both from a user and an infrastructure perspective. You always have what you need, and only pay for what you use.
3. Cost savings. You save on IT costs and the need for periodic hardware investments when Business One is in the cloud instead of in a server closet. With cloud-based ERP, there’s also never any downtime that impacts employee performance.
4. Anywhere access. Employees always have access to company records when ERP is in the cloud, which helps with remote work and field service. Universal access also improves data integrity because records can be updated in real-time, and it cuts down on the need for data being kept outside the system.
5. Security. Business One Cloud runs on Amazon’s AWS cloud, which uses the latest security protections and comes with redundancy that is 20 times more reliable than typical commodity disk drives, ensuring that all your business data stays safe from hardware and software malfunctions.

Moving to the Cloud Starts with Assessment

For businesses that are thinking about moving their existing, on-premise ERP to SAP Business One Cloud, the first step often is assessing the current state of the organization’s backend systems.

Navigator Business Solutions can help. Our Optimization Services can examine the current state of your system, both for process optimization, and for the steps that will be needed to migrate your system to SAP Business One Cloud.

This remote assessment, which typically takes between 24 and 40 hours, will assess the effectiveness of the various ERP modules as it pertains to the business environment and key business processes, confirm best practice, understand current reporting and operational needs for your business, and highlight specific actions that can be taken for improving your ERP backend.

The results of this assessment will include a complete system health check, advice on quick fixes, and system documentation that includes both challenges that must be addressed and areas for improvement such as moving to the cloud.

With this assessment, you’ll gain an understanding of your system performance today, the opportunities for improving your system with a move to the cloud, and what it will take to make that cloud migration.

Cloud Migration in as Little as a Month

Once your current ERP configuration has been analyzed and is fully understood, we can help you move your on-premise Business One ERP to SAP Business One Cloud in as little as a few weeks.

Part of why your business can move to the cloud so easily is because SAP makes the migration path from on-premise Business One implementations to its Business One Cloud relatively easy. Your existing SAP license can be transferred to the new cloud-based system, and migration assistants can help with lifting and shifting your on-premise setup to the more flexible Business One Cloud solution. You and your employees also will already be familiar with most of the Business One Cloud interface, and the same workflows and methodologies can be used between the old and new systems.

The second reason that moving to SAP Business One Cloud will be relatively painless is because we understand SAP solutions inside and out, and have assisted countless businesses with this migration in the past. Armed with a good understanding of your current system and business needs as part of the assessment phase, our customer care and support can guide you through the migration process with precision and efficiency.
