At the end of 20^th century we were seeing numerous publications on Oracle Financials international implementations, customizations and integrations.  Then in 2000 Java platform showed up on the MRP scene and Oracle begun the move toward J2EE, EJB platform, together with Sun Microsystems and IBM.  Currently we see software vendors consolidation – Microsoft acquired Navision (Attain & Axapta) and Great Plains Software (eEnterprise, Dynamics and Solomon), IBM is the owner of Lotus (Domino), Then SAP is now the owner of SAP Business One, which is the preferred solution for small businesses (however small is not actually that small – 10 to several hundred employees).  OK, let’s stop philosophical excurse and concentrate on SAP Business One localized Brazilian Portuguese version.

• Named User Licenses Schema.  SAP Business One set of modules, including CRM, Production/MRP, Sales, Purchasing, Inventory modules are available at the fixed price per named user.  You can also have CRM only user licenses ( price at the 50% of the full named user license price)
• CRM Module.  This is one of the most recently designed CRM solutions, where you can apply your intuition to analyze Client Relation Management pipeline, funnel, or simply click your mouse in order to understand your business sales process intuitively.
• Drag and Relate.  This is the feature of SAP Business One.  You can quickly get the analytical diagram by dragging (and relating)
• São Paulo Manufacturing.  Sao Paulo, being the largest megapolis in South America reserves its market niche as manufacturing and services center.  This is why we consider ERP/Production/Manufacturing module of SAP Business One as cucial.
• Rio de Janeiro.  Rio is the second megapolis in Brazil and we expect substantial influence of Rio ERP market on the SAP BO fate in Brazil.  Rio is primarily the distribution place for the whole South America with its Atlantic port.
