The initiative includes localizing a substantial volume of SAP Business One training material into the Norwegian, Finnish, Danish and Dutch languages.

Especially for small and mid-sized companies, the localized documentation and training material play an important role in the successful implementation of SAP Business One.

“The market for solutions in the area of small and mid-sized businesses is one of the most critical and fast growing in the IT marketplace. SDL is clearly delighted to enjoy the confidence of SAP, as the market leader of SMB solutions,” said Hedley Rees-Evans, Marketing Director at SDL International. “The provision of access to information across all languages within the enterprise creates true, high-value knowledge management.”
