SAP Business ByDesign

Deployment Model

Can be deployed on-premises or in the cloud, giving businesses the flexibility to choose the deployment method that best suits their needs.

Customizability

Can be customized to a certain extent through configuration options and add-on modules.

Is highly customizable and supports the creation of custom applications and extensions using the SAP Cloud Application Studio.

Implementation Complexity
