SAP License Optimization

SAP licensing is complex including more than 3,000 products and 24 user license types, as well as 100 engine metrics. Companies struggle to align their license inventory with their actual licensing needs, leading to over-licensing and excessive spending on SAP applications. Is any of the below your immediate/impending concern?

I’m finding my SAP licensing too complex

I need to know my SAP licenses and the present status of my usage

I need to optimize or re-classify my SAP license agreements

SAP has sent an audit letter for My Licenses

I want to re-orient my architecture to licensing needs

I will need to migrate to the cloud and hence I need to build a business case

SAP Software licensing structures reflect the complexity and evolving technology and business environment like Virtualization, on-demand, on-premise, hosting, outsourcing, new product development, etc. — to only name a few — all add to the challenges in tracking software entitlements and deployment.

Due to this complexity, companies using SAP software find it hard to achieve and maintain a clear overview of SAP licensing rules and usage rights. In its turn, this may lead to sub-optimal usage of licenses and potentially unexpected and unnecessarily high costs.

​The management of SAP licenses is particularly challenging:

The SAP installation in your organization is your organization's most critical business asset. Managing your SAP installation requires money, skills, and Insights. Besides a high upfront TCO, there are recurring annual expenses and the SAP License renewal is the most prominent of these. That’s where Intelligere offers to step in and help you make significant savings on your SAP License renewal costs, year after year.

sometimes "licensing error" means there was a miscommunication with the vendor. Sometimes it means a clinician tried to set up the equipment without waiting for IT. And sometimes, APPARENTLY, it means that this little clinic went rogue and bought their very expensive imaging equipment from the black market!!
