History of SAP Business One “SAP Business One was initially launched in Israel in 1996 under

the name "Menahel" or TopManage in English. In 2000 TopManage started its global expansion into markets in

Europe and Latin America. In March 2002, SAP purchased TopManage Financial Systems, an Israeli developer of business applications and branded their system as SAP Business One.
