Systems Engineer - SAP HCM Consultant Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 12/3/2020 "Crisp and Effiecient" 4/5 What do you like best about SAP Business ByDesign? Bydesign is sufficient for a medium size company as it delivers exactly what fits their needs. The best feature would be the Scoping and Questionnare, there is no large config as SAP ECC or HANA, it includes straight to business questions and a simple configuration. This is what makes it unique that a partner need not always be there for post implementation support.

Be clear about your expectations. 2. If looking for pure custom add ons or enhancements , involve the technical team from the first phase itself. 3.
