What Customers and Partners say…
“
I have noticed a few changes immediately. The first thing is the new pretty colors. The background is soothing to the eyes, and the new menu colors and icons have a nice updated look . The second thing is the new system message that appears at the bottom of the screen. Integration of Crystal Reports , data archiving , use of multiple units of measurement, Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) features are all very helpful. Overall, the readability is much improved on marketing documents. In short , I am greatly impressed by SAP Business One 8.8
.
Spectra Computech, SAP Business One customer in India “
One of the big advantages of the new version is the possibility to enter a negative invoice. The total value of deposit that customers return to us is sometimes higher than the purchase amount. Previously we had to make an invoice as well as a credit invoice.
Schulp Vruchtensappen, SAP Business One customer in the Netherlands “
Performance has significantly improved in 8.8. Our initial tests for a customer specific situation showed that the ‘choose-from-list’ which could take 8 sec to display before, now only takes 3 sec in 8.8. Further, entering a sales order with 100 lines in this specific site seems to take half the time as before “.
Boyum IT, SAP Business One Channel Partner in Denmark.
“
With the new upgrade wizard, there is less preparation and work for us to upgrade our customers. It is a well secured and robust. The first customer we upgraded was done in 4 hours , including technical upgrade, set up of configuring additional topics (bank statement processing, crystal reports) and instruction on new functionalities.
