SAP reported 1.2 million users working with its small-business software every day. Version 11 previews in 2027.
SAP marked 30 years of SAP Business One, its enterprise resource planning software for small and midsize companies, in a corporate release.
The vendor reported "the 1.2 million users working with it every day."
The system originated from startup Top Manage, "bought by SAP in 2002," the company reported. SAP introduced integrated generative artificial intelligence capabilities in August 2026, according to the release.
SAP says its playbook "lists 54 solutions to date" from partners. The company reports customer retention sits "in the upper 90% range."
Vereens Stores has used the system "for over 20 years," SAP reported. The retailer's chief financial officer stated they have been able to adapt the software to meet their needs.
Design Resources, Inc. also runs the software, SAP noted. Its chief information officer stated the company knows its core needs will be handled and backed by SAP.
What the release leaves out is a general release date for its next major upgrade. Version 11 is "open for initial partner preview in 2027," and SAP publishes no central pricing because the system is sold solely by partners.
