  Financial operations guidance for SYSPRO API and ERP platform consumption.
  SYSPRO pricing is modular and quote-based with costs driven by user count,
  functional modules, deployment model (cloud vs. on-premise), and
  implementation complexity. API access is bundled with ERP licences rather
  than metered separately, making cost management primarily a function of
  licence allocation and concurrent user optimisation.

costDrivers:
  - name: Concurrent User Licences
    description: >-
      The primary cost driver for SYSPRO is the number of concurrent user
      licences. Cloud subscriptions run $75-$200 per user per month; on-premise
      perpetual licences cost $1,500-$5,000 per concurrent user (one-time).
      Optimising concurrent user count and shared access reduces licence costs.
    impact: high
  - name: Functional Module Licences
    description: >-
      SYSPRO is licensed by functional area (manufacturing, inventory,
      purchasing, sales, financials, etc.). Each module adds to the total
      licence cost. e.net Solutions business object access is also licensed
      at functional area level for ISVs. Limit modules to those actively used.
    impact: high
  - name: e.net Solutions Business Object Licences
    description: >-
      ISVs and custom integrations require e.net Solutions licences allocated
      to specific functional areas. Unused business object allocations should
      be reclaimed and reallocated to active functional areas to avoid waste.
    impact: medium
  - name: Implementation and Professional Services
    description: >-
      Implementation costs range from $30,000 for basic financial and inventory
      rollouts to $500,000+ for full manufacturing implementations. Reducing
      customisation scope and using out-of-box business objects and the
      Application Designer lowers professional services costs.
    impact: high
  - name: Cloud Hosting (Azure Infrastructure)
    description: >-
      SYSPRO Cloud ERP runs on Microsoft Azure across 18 global regions.
      Hosting costs are included in the cloud subscription fee and managed by
      SYSPRO. On-premise customers bear their own infrastructure costs.
    impact: medium
optimisationStrategies:
  - name: Right-size Concurrent User Count
    description: >-
      Analyse actual concurrent usage patterns to determine the minimum viable
      concurrent user licence count. SYSPRO's concurrent (not named) user model
      means licences are shared across users who don't access the system
      simultaneously.
  - name: Functional Area Audit
    description: >-
      Regularly audit which functional modules are actively used and disable
      unused modules to reduce licence costs. Annual reviews aligned to
      business growth ensure licence spend matches actual usage.
  - name: Use OData for Read Operations
    description: >-
      The OData API is available without additional per-call charges and
      supports efficient data access for reporting and integration scenarios.
      Leveraging OData for read-heavy integrations avoids the need for
      additional e.net business object licences for query-only use cases.
  - name: Leverage Application Designer for Low-Code Development
    description: >-
      SYSPRO's Application Designer and Business Activity Queries provide
      low-code development capabilities that reduce the need for expensive
      custom development work, lowering implementation and maintenance costs.
  - name: ISV Runtime Licence Optimisation
    description: >-
      ISVs should allocate e.net runtime licences only to the functional areas
      their product accesses. Unused functional area allocations should be
      reclaimed. Review allocations when product features change.
  - name: Cloud vs. On-Premise TCO Analysis
    description: >-
      Cloud subscriptions eliminate infrastructure capital expenditure and
      include managed updates, monitoring, and security. On-premise perpetual
      licences have lower per-year cost but higher upfront investment and
      ongoing infrastructure and maintenance costs. Conduct a 5-year TCO
      analysis when choosing deployment model.

notes: >-
  SYSPRO does not publish a public API-specific pricing or usage metering
  page. All cost information is based on published third-party ERP research
  and should be validated with SYSPRO sales for current pricing. API usage
  (OData, e.net, Reporting API) is not billed on a per-call basis but is
  governed by ERP functional area licences and concurrent user counts.
