SAP Business One Data Access
Your financials, inventory, sales and production data live in an SAP Business One install on your own server — reachable only through the thick client or remote desktop. A small agent reads the SQL Server or HANA layer directly and gives your team a live, read-only web dashboard — no S/4HANA migration required.
SAP B1 on-premise — SQL Server & HANA installs, ~70K SMBs worldwide
The SAP Business One Trapped-Data Problem
Thick-client only
Every report, every lookup means the B1 client or a remote desktop session — managers can't self-serve from a browser or phone.
Crystal Reports dependency
Operational answers are locked in Crystal layouts built years ago — only the people who know them can get numbers out.
S/4HANA pressure
SAP's roadmap pushes B1 customers toward bigger migrations — but a working on-prem system shouldn't be forced into a multi-year project just to get web access.
Multi-entity consolidation
Groups running B1 per entity collect exports per company — consolidated numbers arrive late and manually stitched.
How It Works
Agent on your server
A lightweight agent installs beside your existing system — reads the data store directly, makes outbound connections only. No open ports, no VPN, no firewall changes.
Continuous replica
Your records flow to an encrypted, read-only cloud copy via a private tunnel — change-tracking, not dumps. The production system never takes the load.
Web dashboard
Your team searches, reports and browses from any browser or phone — scoped and audited. Answers from the data, not access to the server.
What Your Team Can Finally Do
Common SAP Business One Scenarios
The FD checking the business from anywhere
Cash position, AR aging, sales today — from a phone instead of a remote session into the B1 server.
Group consolidation across entities
Each company's B1 install runs an agent; group finance gets one consolidated dashboard — same metrics, same definitions.
Staying on B1 past the roadmap
Keep the working system, get modern web access and reporting — the 'bridge, not migrate' answer to S/4HANA pressure.

SAP Business One Data Access FAQ
Does it work with both SQL Server and HANA?+
Yes — the agent reads either backend directly. SQL Server is the simplest path; HANA installs are covered with a per-system adapter.
Does B1 keep working the same way?+
Yes — the agent reads alongside it. Users keep the thick client they know; the dashboard is an addition, not a replacement.
Is this instead of migrating to S/4HANA?+
For many businesses, yes — if the goal is better access and reporting rather than a new ERP, a replica + dashboard delivers it in weeks at a fraction of migration cost.
Can it write back to B1?+
The default posture is read-only for safety. Write-back workflows via DI-API are available on Enterprise plans after scoping.
