Onboarding and offboarding

Getting started
SAP Business ByDesign is a self-documenting solution with extensive in-built help, community forums, blogs, wiki entries, SAP YouTube channel for guidance videos, as well as online user guides and administrator guides.

The Help section within SAP Business ByDesign is also customisable, meaning that a company can add in their own documents and content, including videos.

This is of particular use when it comes to on-boarding of new staff; not only can users add their own notes for specific sections, but authorised users could add specific content, such as a job description/duties, or even a "How to Video" for specific roles and functions within that role.

A typical implementation will not require additional user documentation, but will include on-site "train the trainer" sessions to key users who co-ordinate and delivery training to the user base. However, at customer request training can be provided to end users and additional documentation can be provided.
Service documentation
Yes
Documentation formats
  • HTML
  • PDF
End-of-contract data extraction
Data held within SAP Business ByDesign may be exported by:

* Mass Data Maintenance functionality
* Open APIs that are standards-based Web Services
* iFlow integration scenarios for standard integration via solutions SAP Process Integration or SAP Cloud Platform
* Reporting, dashboards and analytics
* Excel from all results lists, where permissions allow this

SAP Business ByDesign has a native link with MS Excel in order to utilise the power of that solution - so any report that can be created, against any of the data in the solution, can then easily be passed into MS Excel.
End-of-contract process
As a SaaS based offering, Business ByDesign provides full technical support and maintenance of the systems within their data centres. This includes all upgrades (performed on a quarterly cycle), bug fixes etc.
An exit plan will be determined on a case by case basis, with steps and charges discussed and mutually agreed.

Customisation available
Yes
Description of customisation
User interface can be corporately branded by an administrator. Role-based authorisations determine the screen layouts, views and access for each user, as defined by an administrator. Fields, screens, components and objects can be extended (standard)and created (bespoke) by a developer using the software development kit (SDK) based on Visual Studio shell. New fields can be created, existing fields can be relabelled and hidden by an administrator or authorised key user. Administrators and/or key user can create data sources, reports, report views and selections based on standard and bespoke business objects. An administrator or a developer can create and amend PDF output documents using a plug-in for Adobe LiveCycle Designer. User interface can be personalised by end users, such as resizing and reordering results columns, saving search queries and setting these as the default query for a particular view. End users may add additional fields to results lists and so on through personalisation, where the fields have been made available by an administrator.

Scaling

Independence of resources
Combined with virtualisation, decoupling hardware from the operating system and applications, multi-tenancy occurs when many customers are served on one instance. Virtual machines (VMs) share the hardware environment, and one system can accommodate more than 100 tenants.

Using adaptive computing, virtual machines are not shut down to be rescaled or updated, and changes can be made while they are running applications, with minimal downtimes. To enable this, a new VM is prepared and the application is simply “moved” to the new VM. Moving and rescaling VMs dynamically enables resource independence from the demands of other customers using the same service.

Analytics

The SAP digital payments add-on solution uses PCI DSS-certified external partners (known as payment service providers or PSPs), which process and store the original card data.
