We understand the challenges
By default, SAP license agreements are non-assignable and exclude transitional service rights. Unless negotiated previously, this poses challenges during mergers, acquisitions, or divestments, where SAP customers need to secure such rights quickly and often with limited leverage.
Balancing the need to secure these rights cost-effectively, while aligning with SAP’s objectives and meeting strict migration and carve-out timelines, is highly complex. The effort required to identify in-scope systems, licenses, and costs is often underestimated.
How we help
- Target solution design based on analysis of the current status and impact of Merger, Acquisition, or Divestment on all involved parties.
- Review and analyse SAP contracts, licenses and subscriptions and provide advice on what to retain, adapt or retire.
- Provide recommendations on software contractual structures, optimal licensing models, and license transfers.
- Deliver negotiation support services for the purchase of additional licenses, subscriptions or expanded use rights.
- Ensure a cost-efficient, seamless transition to the new structure.
