Nadine Heintz

Deal on SAP Software

 

SAP is running a promotion called Step Up to the Cloud that gives you a discount equivalent to six or nine months of free service when you sign a contract for Business ByDesign, the company's on-demand enterprise resource planning software. The cloud-based business management software includes a wide variety of features, including CRM software and powerful analytics tools.

Here's how it works: If you purchase a two-year subscription to SAP Business ByDesign with a minimum of 15 users, you'll get the first three months free, plus a 15 percent credit on all subsequent invoices for remainder of the initial term. Purchase a three-year contract with a minimum of 20 users, and you'll get the first three months free, plus a 20% credit on all subsequent invoices for remainder of the initial term.

To qualify for the discount, you must not currently have a subscription to Business ByDesign. The offer expires on June 30, 2011. For more details, visit the SAP site.

The Goods is focused exclusively on products and services for business owners. We won't ignore the latest netbook or the hottest smartphone, but we'll also examine the services, software, and Web-based tools that can help make your business succeed.
