SAP Solution: Aspera

The topic of "indirect use" has been occupying the SAP community for three years. In April of this year, SAP presented an alternative licensing model. Guido Schneider from Aspera has conducted an investigation into this, and attorney Jürgen Beckers comments on the circumstances.

The kick-off was a complete success. However, the E-3 event also showed that there are more licensing problems in the SAP community than the "indirect" use invented by SAP.

Increasing digitization and the networked world are shaping the future of ERP systems. As a result, business models, licensing terms, and SAP's interfaces will have to adapt to other software in the company.
