20.000 SAP Business One Customers

SAP AG today announced the 20,000th customer for SAP® Business One, its integrated business management application for small businesses, proving the rapid market adoption rate of the application, for which SAP has been able to double its customer base in less than two years. The announcement was made at the SAP Summer Sales Meeting, SAP Americas' annual field conference attended by more than 2,500 partners and SAP employees, being held in San Diego, California from July 14-16.

Super Sailmakers, a one-stop shop for all sail needs founded in 1973 and based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, selected SAP Business One to support all core areas of its fast-growing and increasingly international business. It took only one product demonstration from SAP partner Netsirk to convince the company to replace its legacy system, and only 30 days to turn the decision into business value. Now, SAP Business One, together with the complementary e-commerce solution Netsirk Credit Card Processing by SAP partner Netsirk and Third Wave Ship Link by SAP partner Third Wave Business Systems, form the one-stop business solution for Super Sailmakers. Of Super Sailmakers' 15 employees, eight work with the integrated business management application to run the entire business, from closing deals, producing and shipping products to customers and resellers on time, managing the financials, tracking production, expanding the relationships with the business network, to delivering various services.

Super Sailmakers was honored today by Glenn Wada, senior vice president and general manager, SME, SAP America Inc., who welcomed the company to the growing community of small businesses that run on SAP solutions.

"We are considered a small company, but as such our business is highly diversified and shows high growth rates, which makes it hard to find a suitable software solution," said Bob Meagher III, vice president, Super Sailmakers. "With multiple locations selling directly to sailors, boat dealers and manufacturers in the United States, Caribbean and Europe, we needed to consolidate our management and operations in a single platform, integrating our high-end services to large cruising yachts with our unique requirements as a sailmaker for smaller boats. SAP wasn't really on our minds, but SAP Business One, combined with the knowledgeable solutions and customer-focused record of Netsirk, clearly addressed our unique business needs best and met our expectations for ease-of-use, flexibility and affordability."

SAP Solution Strategy for SMEs Proves Successful

This milestone in customer adoption of SAP Business One strengthens SAP as a worldwide leading provider of enterprise solutions to small and midsize enterprises (SMEs), with currently more than 35,700 SME customers from a total of 47,800 customers. SAP offers a comprehensive and versatile solution portfolio specifically designed for the business and IT needs of SMEs. It includes SAP Business One for small businesses and SAP® Business All-in-One and SAP® Business ByDesign(tm) for midsize companies, all of which deliver on the promise to offer powerful and affordable solutions for the unique needs of businesses of all sizes.

A successful SAP Business One partner in the United States since 2003 and named SAP South East Regional Partner of the Year 2007 in the United States, Netsirk Technologies headquartered in Weston, Florida, provided Super Sailmakers with the complete array of services, from first demo to implementation, data transfer and training. Experienced in the retail, wholesale and manufacturing industries, Netsirk not only offers professional services but also provides complementary solutions for several industries that tightly integrate with SAP Business One.

"Super Sailmakers is a perfect example of how customers can quickly benefit from SAP's best-fit strategy for small businesses and midsize companies," said Niels Stenfeldt, vice president, SAP Business One, SAP AG. "SAP Business One, as an international and comprehensive business application, forms the stable basis. It is matched with regional and the increasingly important vertical and micro-vertical expertise and solutions from our partners. Together, we offer true and immediate value to fast-growing small businesses in their respective industries."
