The document compares the ecommerce platforms Magento and Hybris for B2B use. Magento is open source with no vendor lock-in, while Hybris is part of SAP and more expensive. Both can integrate with SAP ERP systems through extensions or connectors. Magento is best for faster development at lower cost, while Hybris provides more out-of-the-box enterprise features and integration. Examples of large B2B companies using each platform are provided.

6. HEADS UP SAP RUNNERS
You need to have SAP Named User License (NUL) for every
customer:
• 89 € per customer per store + 18% per year
• Usually companies go around this in web shop integration so
that all online sales is directed to one generic SAP
• customer account (First Name: Web, Last Name: Sale). Only
one Named User License is needed for online customers.
• SAP hybris license conditions forbid to use this loop hole
anymore.
• SAP ERP & hybris users must have SAP Named User License for
every online customers for now on
• The license cost impact is huge especially for SAP hybris B2C
businesses
• 2 million customers x 89 € = 178 m€ + 32 m€/year there after

9. Hybris – SAP integration
• It requires a huge investment in connector even it is the same SAP
family ( no built in solution)
• According Hybris - there are possible 3 scenarios : asynchronous,
synchronous and hybryd.
• How the synchronous version works:
• ERP sends master data to Hybris, and Hybris provides the
shopping UI, product catalog, search and navigation. As soon as
the user adds a product to the shopping basket, an order is
simulated in ERP synchronously.
• Using an ERP order you have full access to ERP features like
customer specific price determination, ATP check, credit limit
check etc.
• When the user places the order the order is directly created in
ERP. So in this scenario Hybris is used for the shopping experience,
but not for order management, which is completely done in ERP.

10. Hybris – SAP integration (2)
Advantage
• you have everything you can leverage the power
and complexity of the ERP sales order in your B2B
commerce scenario, you can run it from EhP5
SP09/EhP6 SP04 (and not EhP7 only). * (source
Hybris)
Disadvantage:
• you cause unpredictable load on your ERP
system, which is a disadvantage for a high volume
commerce scenario. 10
