SAP Business One Implementation Methodology
5 key phases to ensure a successful SAP Business One implementation
SAP’s Accelerated Implementation Program (AIP) is a proven methodology for an SAP Business One implementation that follows a structured, phased approach, starting with the handover from the sales team to the right before the handover to the support organization.
When it comes to selecting your SAP Business One Partner, you need to choose a certified SAP partner who can manage consulting, implementation, integrations, development, and services, everything in line with your business requirements.
