Abstract: Abstract Are cloud-based business platforms faster to implement in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)? The aim of this contribution is to evaluate new configuration methods and its effects on ERP projects. Therefore, experiences of several implementations of the cloud-based business platform SAP Business ByDesign in SMEs are collected and analyzed. This applied research paper shows concrete product-related configuration features and its effects on the real companies of the case studies conducted. The outcome is seen as recommendation for companies in comparable situations, but is not representative and not directly transferable to other products. Nevertheless, the question of (new) accelerators for ERP implementations is examined in general.
