The <strong>price estimation<\/strong> which includes SAP &amp; Database Software, first-year maintenance, deployment services, and hardware. For the example above the estimated price was MYR 574,000 approximately USD 164,000 for 1000 employees and 30 users. The MYR was displayed because I selected Malaysia as the country.<\/p>\n<p>For sure this pricing is not going to be a final price but it does provide a good estimation considering the modules which are included as well as the number of users. If your organization is smaller and does not require as many as 30 users, lowering the number of users to just 10 brings the price down to MYR 309,000 approximately USD 88,000.<\/p>\n<p>Hesitate no more.
