Mid-market companies (80-300 users) with deep roots in local FMCG, manufacturing, or retail verticals.
You require direct support from the local team with ASSECO group escalation.
The budget accommodates Oracle DB + in-house IT infrastructure.
Massively scaling beyond 5 countries is not an immediate priority.
When to choose SAP B1
Plans to expand across 5-15 countries within 3-5 years.
You prioritize a global partner ecosystem and native SAP HANA Cloud capabilities.
IPO / M&A plans where the SAP brand adds valuation weight.
Aligning with global group standards already running on SAP.
