Most of the security incidents we see in smaller businesses come down to something simple: a machine that wasn't patched, or a backup nobody had tested. Both are prevented by routine, which is why patching, endpoint protection, backup and monitoring run as part of our IT service desk, so nobody on your team has to remember them.

The desk covers everything from a password reset to a server that won't come back up, and you choose the hours, from business hours to round the clock. You pay a fixed monthly fee based on your users, devices and cover.

It's the last week of Cyber Security Awareness Month, which makes this a good week to check when your backups were last tested. More on the service in the comments."

If your team logs in to SAP Business One through Remote Desktop, Citrix or Azure Virtual Desktop, you're paying for and hosting every one of those sessions. Version 10 FP2608 moves much more of Business One into the browser. SAP has added 130 features to the Web Client in this release, including pick and pack, recurring journals, stock revaluation and payment runs, so more of your team can work without a remote session.

Our upgrades start with a system review that shows how much of your team's daily work can move to the browser today, and what that could save on hosting. The link is in the comments.

SAP has published an e-book on the 10 things growing businesses most often believe about its cloud ERP, including that it costs too much, takes too long to deploy and is only built for multinationals. Each myth is answered with how SAP GROW Fast works: a preconfigured implementation with a defined scope and transparent pricing, delivered by certified SAP partners. SAP's partner directory lists Codestone as an SAP Excellence Champion for GROW.

Mainstream maintenance for SAP ERP Central Component (ECC) ends on 31 December 2027, so if cloud ERP has been waiting for the right time, this planning round is a good moment to test those objections. The e-book is linked in the comments.

Moving your Business ByDesign support to a new partner typically takes 4 to 8 weeks, and your live system isn't touched at any point. SAP hosts ByDesign, so you keep your tenant, your data, your configuration and your history throughout. The work is a handover of knowledge: we learn how your business uses the system before we take over support.

It also gives you a partner who can plan the route to SAP Cloud ERP with you when the time suits your business, since SAP's roadmap for ByDesign points that way. In the video, Toralf Andersson sets out where ByDesign stands today.

If your support isn't where it should be, talk to us. The link is in the comments.

Welcome to Codestone, Arham Siddiqui.

Arham has joined us as a Client Value Manager, looking after whether the work we do for our clients keeps paying off long after the project that started it. Businesses grow in directions nobody planned for, and someone has to keep asking whether what's in place still earns its place, ideally before the client has to ask it themselves.

Great to have you with us, Arham.

Our latest blog is for finance leaders whose business has grown a long way since it chose its ERP.

It sets out 5 signs the system hasn't kept pace, from a month end that only closes once the numbers have been through a spreadsheet to finance hires who spend their days connecting data the system should already join up. None of them sets off an alert, which is why they can run for years before anyone names them.

Boyum IT's B1 Usability Package (B1UP) now works in the SAP Business One Web Client.

If your team relies on B1UP, it can now come with you to the browser. Version 10 FP2608 also makes it easier to bring bespoke add-ons across, and our team can convert and redesign yours for the browser. As more of your people move over, you need fewer Remote Desktop or Azure Virtual Desktop sessions, and less of the licensing and hosting that goes with them.

An upgrade starts with a full review of your system, so the route fits how your business works. The link is in the comments.

Mundipharma is one of more than 80 independent associated companies in a global pharmaceutical network, each running its own systems and ERP, and it consistently meets its working day 3 and day 7 financial reporting deadlines.

That work of planning, consolidating, closing and reporting to the board sits above the ERP, and it has a name: Enterprise Performance Management (EPM). Mundipharma does it in CCH Tagetik, the EPM software from Wolters Kluwer, which Codestone implements as a Platinum partner.

If your group still consolidates in a spreadsheet only one person fully understands, our CCH Tagetik page explains what changes when consolidation moves out of the workbook and into the system. Link in the comments.

Last Thursday the judges at the South Coast Tech & Innovation Awards named Codestone Large Tech Enterprise of the Year. They praised how we manage culture, customer satisfaction and team development, "all while executing a number of acquisitions".

That last part is the one we're proudest of. Growing through acquisition while clients stay happy and people keep developing takes everyone pulling the same way, from the consultants running projects to the team answering support calls for more than 750 clients in 8 countries.

We were also on the shortlist for High Growth Tech Company, South Coast Tech Company, Tech Employer and Tech for Good, which made it a big night for a lot of the team.

Thank you to The Business Magazine and Insider for a great night at the Leonardo Royal Southampton, and to our clients for the trust behind every bit of that work.

SAP Business One version 10 FP2608 can send your emails straight through your company's Microsoft 365 account, with no separate mail server and no stored passwords. That matters now that Microsoft is phasing out Basic Authentication for sending email (SMTP).

Every upgrade we run starts with a full review of your system, so the route is planned around how your business uses Business One before anything changes. The details are linked in the comments.
