Run SAP Business One without running a server room
Hosted, managed SAP Business One with elastic scaling, built-in backups and remote access from anywhere your team works — without the upfront infrastructure spend.
For many growing businesses, the case for cloud-hosted SAP Business One has less to do with the software and more to do with everything around it: server refresh cycles, backup management, patching schedules and the IT headcount needed to keep all of it running reliably.
We host and manage SAP Business One on private or public cloud infrastructure sized to your business, handle migration from on-premise where that's the starting point, and take ongoing responsibility for the infrastructure layer — so your team manages the business, not the server.
The full infrastructure layer, managed end to end
Hosted SAP B1
Private or public cloud hosting sized and secured for your business.
On-prem to cloud migration
Planned migration of your existing SAP B1 environment with minimal downtime.
Managed infrastructure & backups
Patching, monitoring and automated backups handled as part of the service.
Elastic scaling
Infrastructure that scales with transaction volume and user growth without re-procurement.
Multi-device & remote access
Secure access for office, warehouse and remote staff from any device.
Security & compliance management
Access control, encryption and compliance posture maintained on your behalf.
What changes for your business
Lower upfront cost
No server capex — infrastructure shifts to a predictable operating expense.
Access from anywhere
Teams across sites or working remotely reach the same live system securely.
Always current
Patches and updates are managed centrally instead of falling behind on-premise.
Built-in continuity
Backup and recovery are part of the service, not a separate project to plan.
How a multi-site distribution business moved to cloud-hosted SAP B1 with zero unplanned downtime
A look at what a managed cloud migration actually involves, end to end.
Background
The business ran SAP Business One on a single on-premise server at head office, supporting three warehouses and a growing field sales team. The server was approaching end of vendor support, and every new site or new hire meant another VPN account and another conversation about whether the hardware could keep up.
The challenge
- The on-site server was nearing end-of-life, with no realistic upgrade path that didn't mean a full hardware refresh.
- Nightly backups ran, but were never consistently test-restored — nobody could say with confidence that a recovery would actually work.
- There was no documented disaster recovery plan if the head office site itself became unavailable.
- Field sales and a newly opened fourth warehouse needed access, but the existing VPN setup was slow and difficult to provision for new users.
The solution
The system was migrated to managed cloud infrastructure sized to current and projected transaction volume, with the cutover planned and tested in a staging environment before the production switch. Backups were automated and a documented disaster recovery runbook was put in place, with restores tested on a fixed schedule rather than assumed to work. Remote and warehouse staff moved from VPN access to secure browser-based access, and infrastructure was sized to scale ahead of the new warehouse opening rather than requiring fresh procurement.

SAP Business One on the cloud: frequently asked questions
The questions teams ask before moving off an on-premise server.
Can SAP Business One be hosted in the cloud instead of on-premise?
Yes. SAP B1 can run on managed private or public cloud infrastructure, with hosting sized to your transaction volume and user count instead of a fixed on-site server.
How long does migrating from an on-premise server to the cloud take?
It depends on data volume and customisations, but the cutover itself — the actual downtime window — is typically a few hours, planned and tested in staging beforehand.
What happens to our data and backups during the migration?
Data is migrated and validated in a staging environment before cutover, and automated backups with a tested restore schedule are part of the managed service going forward.
Can remote and warehouse staff access the system securely from the cloud?
Yes — staff across sites or working remotely get secure access to the same live system from any device, without depending on a single office's VPN connection.
Does moving to the cloud mean losing existing customisations or add-ons?
No. Existing customisations, user-defined fields and add-ons migrate along with the rest of the environment — the underlying system doesn't change, just where it's hosted.
What happens if there's an outage — is there a disaster recovery plan?
A documented disaster recovery runbook is part of the managed service, with backups and recovery tested on a schedule rather than left untested until they're needed.
