Neither are we. ### SAP has stopped selling ByDesign to new customers, but your system is still fully supported. Accounting Micro Systems helps ByDesign customers get more from the system they run today and plan the next step on their own timeline.

If you already run ByDesign, here is where things stand. ### What changed - New companies can no longer buy SAP Business ByDesign. - SAP's successor for this market is SAP Cloud ERP, formerly SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition. - SAP offers a path to SAP Cloud ERP through its GROW transition program. ### What didn't change - Your system keeps full SAP support, and SAP has not announced an end date. - You can still add users and renew your subscription. - There is no forced migration. You decide if and when to move. - Your processes, data and reports keep running as they do today. If you do decide to move, SAP's GROW transition program includes a free scoping assessment, and you won't pay for two subscriptions during the move. [Talk to us about your ByDesign system](https://accountingmicro.com/contact-us?hsLang=en) ![SAP\_BbyD\_R\_3](https://accountingmicro.com/hs-fs/hubfs/SAP_BbyD_R_3.jpg?width=277&height=50&name=SAP_BbyD_R_3.jpg "SAP_BbyD_R_3") ![SAP ByDesign Overview](https://accountingmicro.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Assets%20June%202018/ams-businessbydesign-finance-background-1.jpg?width=768&height=483&name=ams-businessbydesign-finance-background-1.jpg "SAP ByDesign Overview") ## Three ways forward --- Every ByDesign customer now has the same choice: get more out of the system you have, plan a move to SAP Cloud ERP on your own schedule or, for smaller companies, move to SAP Business One. Many companies will combine options, improving what they run today while they plan for later. We support every path, and we'll give you a straight answer on which one makes sense for your business.   ## Option 1: Stay on ByDesign and get more from it --- ### Health checks and support Start with a review of how your system is set up and used today. Then count on ongoing [help desk support](https://accountingmicro.com/technical-support?hsLang=en) and managed services from a team that knows ByDesign. ### Integrations and extensions Connect ByDesign to the rest of your business, automate manual work and build the reports your finance team needs, with [integration services](https://accountingmicro.com/boomi?hsLang=en) and [custom development](https://accountingmicro.com/erp-custom-development?hsLang=en). ### Project rescue and partner switch Stalled project, or a partner who has gone quiet? You can move your ByDesign support to Accounting Micro Systems. We'll review where things stand, pick up where they left off and get your system back on track. ## Option 2: Plan your move to SAP Cloud ERP --- ### Free scoping assessment SAP's GROW transition program includes a free scoping assessment. We help you prepare for it, make sense of the results and decide what belongs in scope. ### A roadmap timed to your renewal We plan your move to SAP Cloud ERP around your ByDesign renewal date, your year-end close and your team's capacity, so the switch happens when it suits your business. ### No double subscription Under the GROW transition program, you don't pay for ByDesign and SAP Cloud ERP at the same time while you move. ## Option 3: Move to SAP Business One --- ### Built for smaller and growing companies SAP Business One is a full ERP for small and midsize businesses, with financials, inventory, purchasing, CRM and reporting in one system. It can be a good fit if your company wants complete ERP without the scope of a larger platform. ### A move based on how you work today We start with an assessment of what you actually use in ByDesign today, then map your processes, reports and integrations to SAP Business One so nothing important gets left behind. ### Data migration on your timeline We build a data migration plan and schedule the cutover around your ByDesign renewal date and year-end close. SAP Business One can run on-premises or in the cloud.
