SAP ByDesign is a cloud-based platform that allows users to build and run custom applications in around 10 days, and is best suited for small and medium-sized business usage. Launched in 2009 as ‘in-memory Enterprise Resource Planning’, it was later rebranded as ‘cloud for everyone’ in 2013, containing functions like sales, customer service, financial controlling, or HR management. SAP ByDesign allows the creation of several kinds of business apps including simple data collection apps to more complicated apps with a workflow. The idea is that companies can start with minimal investment and easily add on modules as they grow.
