SAP Solution: license column

Are you about to decide which path to use to migrate to S/4 Hana? Contract Conversion, Product Conversion or Rise with SAP? Take a look at the PKL Q2/2023.

Even if S/4 is not a tragedy like Shakespeare's Hamlet, the question for the existing SAP customer is whether he can live with the S/4 provisions in the PKL. If not, then this must be included in the contract negotiation.

Business Case Rise with SAP, right? With Rise, SAP offers an all-round worry-free solution in the cloud based on a (naturally) positive customer-specific business case calculation.

50 years of SAP - actually a reason to celebrate. Not so for SAP user companies: Problems with licenses and contracts are clouding the mood, demanding a lot of attention and money - and tying up capacities.

SAP wants to introduce an annual price increase for cloud products. But any partner selling a go-to-market solution must also pay a revenue share, regardless of whether SAP enabled the transaction.

Cloud first - this is now the strategy in many companies. There is certainly a lot to be said for it. From a licensing perspective, however, many risks arise, especially with SAP software, and these must be evaluated.

SAP licensing options and costs change regularly. It's no wonder that those responsible lose track of the situation and incur additional costs. Currently, Rise, DAAP and licensing by entitlement are hotly debated.

If you want to keep costs under control during an S/4 Hana switch, it is absolutely crucial whether you succumb to the lure of a contract conversion or switch with your entire license portfolio.

With RISE with SAP, SAP creates incentives to switch to S/4 Hana in the cloud. Analogous to Digital Access, there is the option of using user licenses universally and as needed. This will appeal to many SAP customers.
