SAP's intention is to provide these innovations to existing customers as a core component of Enterprise SOA by Evolution approach. SAP Business ByDesign will not replace SAP Business Suite, SAP Business All-in-One nor SAP Business One it is designed exclusively for a segment of mid-size organizations that are not effectively served by these or by any other vendors solutions.
