Press Release Body: SAP B1 is on the way of expansion, especially with the
introduction of version SB1 2007A for US market earlier this year (2008). Software
licensing for SBO is all-in-one per named user, however it differs per user role.
But in any case, you probably want to benefit on exposing SB1 data to web internet
users. We are introducing new product: Web Views for SAP Business One, which allows
you to do sales ordering online by sales people as well as querying SAP BO modules
for virtually all your employees, depending on their role or deployment department.
In this small publication we would like to review Web Views features and
functionality:

1. Sales Orders and Invoices Entry. It is primarily targeted to your travelling
sales reps, but you can open it for your permanent Business-to-Business customers as
well. When Sales document is entered it is automatically created in SB1 Database
and then through Web Views your sales persons can track Order or Invoice status. In
our opinion Sales procedures exposure to the internet is critical in business to
business ecommerce scenarios, this is why Web Views initially addresses it in its
earlier versions

2. Data Inquiry. For the rest of us, who are SAP BO non-sales users, Web Views
opens variety of the modules for web querying: Accounts Payable, Purchases,
Inventory, Financial Reporting, General Ledger and others, please check with us on
current add-ons

3. Technology. Web Views is written in SAP Business One SDK. Our programmers are
working to extend modules coverage. As you may know SB1 SDK or Software Development
Kit allows you to control SBO objects without business logic violation (as you
probably know - you can't update SB1 database tables via SQL update statements)

4. Licensing benefits. In Web Views you do not have to pay relatively high
all-in-one user license cost for your web viewers. In this scenario you can
consider the model when relatively small number of SB1 users in accounting are
handling your core AR, AP processing and you have powerful sales force working with
SB1 via Web Views from the fields. Plus, for your company executives, who are
watching financial statements, you do not have to consume SAP Business One user
licenses, as they can see what they needs through SB1 Web Views
