SAP license management and software asset management

The new benchmark for safeguarding your investments!

Your SAP landscapes are at the very heart of your applications. Value creation is almost always linked to an SAP license. But do you have the right one?

We support you throughout the entire life cycle of your SAP licenses for both users and engines.

Companies change, ERP processes are adapted. Roles are developed further and highly granular authorization concepts are required for security. The switch to S/4HANA means your SAP landscape is changing from an on-premises solution to a hybrid solution. All these changes mean negotiating new SAP licenses!

Do you have any questions?

We look forward to hearing from you if you have any questions on these topics.

In order to achieve a well-planned switch that is optimized to your investments and requirements, the topic of SAP licenses is a key component of any S/4HANA project. Transparency regarding your license balance, a precise analysis of how your users, engines and database capacities use SAP, reliable cost forecasts for your future S/4HANA architecture and a well-organized SAP system are fundamental requirements for a good SAP license policy.
