That is according to Rainer Zinow, SVP of SVP's cloud unit, who demonstrated ByD at this Week's SAP SME Business Summit in New York City. Zinow said that the growth of ByD sales in two-tier environments is increasingly more quickly than stand-alone ByD sales. Zinow also said another advantage in the use of ByD is that it can be used for more quickly localize financial applications. Localizations must be accomplished in each module of the Tier One product. However he continued, ByD has a globalization layer than be utilized by partners to develop versions adapted to new countries, more quickly and more inexpensively than can be done with the Business Suite.
SAP SELLS TWO TIER BYD Featured

However, SAP argues that It is far easier to integrate two SAP-developed products than one from SAP and one from an outsider.
