Avoiding Costly Licensing Mistakes with SAP S/4HANA and SAP Cloud ERP Private

Organizations moving to SAP S/4HANA or SAP Cloud ERP Private are often uncertain about how many licenses they need resulting in over-licensing and unnecessary costs. The key challenge they face is that of ensuring that they only pay for what they need. Making an informed decision about licensing avoids financial waste due to over-subscription, something that is increasingly complex with SAP’s STAR Measurement model, and the transition to Full User Equivalent (FUE) licensing or the even newer per user, per month licensing. Not having the information to make the right decision can lead to significant and unnecessary costs.

In this session, Soterion demonstrates how their SAP License Manager assists organizations in using a data-driven approach to their current SAP usage, determining accurate FUE requirements, and reducing license counts through role optimization. Watch the full session to see how real data usage can uncover the actual number of licenses needed, highlighting cost-saving opportunities by cleaning up roles and clarifying how users interact with your SAP environment. Whether you’re an IT leader or part of the SAP team, this webinar offers valuable insights to help avoid licensing pitfalls and fully prepare for a smooth transition to SAP S/4HANA.
