We understand the challenges
Migrating to the Cloud represents a mixed bag of risks and opportunities for on-premise SAP customers. From a licensing perspective, swapping out unused software for a right-sized bill of materials must be weighed against the complexities of converting perpetual licences to subscription-based cloud licences.
Often, identifying the cloud equivalent to on-premises licenses is a challenging task; there is mostly no 1:1 equivalent, and evolving business requirements compound the difficulties faced.
How we help
- Measure existing licenses to ensure only products in use are mapped and exclude shelfware.
- Simulate licensing scenarios for both public and private cloud licensing models to allow for cost and functionality comparison.
- Review paperwork to build a consolidated view of each product's functionality parameters, use rights, and thresholds.
- Recommend optimal commercial model for requirements – PAYG, BTPEA or subscription.
- Deliver strategic support throughout the negotiation to attain a "win-win" transaction for both sides.
