SAP Business ByDesign (ByD) is a cloud enterprise resource planning software (Cloud ERP)[1] that is sold and operated as software as a service by SAP SE. It is designed for small and medium-sized enterprises.[2][3] The software is designed to provide business processes across application areas from financials to human resources with embedded business analytics, mobility, e-learning,[4] and support.

SAP Business ByDesign is built on the principles of a service oriented architecture (SOA). Integration between business capabilities is accomplished via messages. The underlying technology stack is a multi-tenancy enabled SAP NetWeaver stack, leveraging SAP's in-memory HANA database.

SAP Business ByDesign is used by almost 10.000 companies[5] in more than 140 countries and supports 41 languages (13 standard and 28 partner translated, including simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Hebrew). It is localized for 65 countries (standard localizations, pre-localizations and partner localizations).[6] In addition customers and partners can create custom country and language versions using the Localization and Language Toolkit provided by SAP. Examples for the 72 localizations by customers or partners are Taiwan, Malaysia, Vietnam, Chile and Peru.
