Here’s a great overview demo of SAP Business One. It takes you through the key differentiators to really show you the strength of the solution.
Features shown include:

We are always being asked to compare and contrast solutions. Below is a bulleted list comparing SAP Business One and Sage MAS 500.
We found the SAP Developer Network Wiki Posting by Noreen Armstrong here. We think this is something that isn’t easy to find so we are cross posting it for your information as well.
The creation of reports in XL Reporter (XLR) frequently requires information to be extracted from user defined fields (UDF) in the database. As XL Reporter does not automatically know which UDFs have been added to the database, they are not included by default. However, XLR provides the facility to access these UDFs.
For example, a customer that is also a supplier has 2 UDFs defined in the Business Partner (BP) Master Data. These UDFs exist at header level showing the counterpart BP and their respective balance. The financial accountant requires a report detailing how much each of these types of business partners (that are both customers and suppliers) actually owes the company. The accountant has requested that the existing report in XLR showing the customer name, the supplier name and their respective balances should also show the total balance due to/owed by these clients.
In the following example, customer ‘C23900′ is also a supplier (BP code = V60000). The BP Master Data record for customer ‘C23900′ shows ‘V6000′ in the UDF ‘Counterpart BP’ and this supplier’s current balance in the UDF ‘Counter BP Balance’.
Unlike the trend in most software, SAP just proved that their upcoming 8.8 release is significantly faster than the prior release, 2007a.
Test were done on transaction entry, both standalone and chained. Reporting performance was also tested. In addition, changes to back end processing occurred so that much less data is ‘locked’ and for a shorter period of time during posting so far fewer ‘record in use’ errors will occur.
This document outlines the result which range from 20% to 100% performance improvements:
Over at the SAP Blog site, there is a great short article showing through the creative use of User Defined Tables (UDT’s), User Defined Fields (UDF’s) and some queries, how you can essentially setup and manage sales quotas with SAP Business One with no actual program modifications.
