Description:
Considering RISE with SAP? Register now for our webinar which will help you to:
- Decode SAP's evolving licensing model and its cost implications for your business.
- Identify strategies to avoid overpaying for SAP licenses and strengthen your negotiation leverage.
- Implement governance best practices to enhance cost efficiency and mitigate risk throughout your S/4 transformation or RISE implementation.
- Reduce both initial and ongoing costs by optimising the in-memory data footprint and managing infrastructure growth through data minimisation.
- Build a compelling business case for robust security and access controls as drivers of cost savings, operational efficiency, and improved user experience.
More Information
RISE with SAP introduces a multi-layered licensing framework, including:
- User license fees based on assigned authorisation levels rather than traditional system usage metrics.
- Infrastructure sizing tied to Full User Equivalents (FUEs) potentially requiring additional memory blocks and infrastructure scale-outs.
- Derived pricing models on solutions like High Availability, Disaster Recovery, etc.
The new SAP licensing models directly link FUEs to infrastructure and memory sizing—factors that heavily influence subscription costs. Depending on your approach, these changes can either drive efficiencies or lead to substantial overpayments. Misalignment in these areas can inflate licensing and infrastructure costs while increasing compliance and audit risks.
Ensure your organisation is positioned to optimise costs by aligning roles and authorisations with actual business usage and security priorities. By streamlining user access and managing data growth, you can significantly reduce both upfront and ongoing subscription expenses.
By thoroughly auditing user access and right-sizing roles and authorisations to reflect actual business activity, organisations can unlock material and time-sensitive savings. This is especially critical if you are planning an S/4HANA transformation, evaluating RISE with SAP, or preparing for license fee negotiations.
Whether you are thinking about RISE with SAP, planning or starting on your migration or implementation journey, our experts will ensure you have a smoother, more cost effective transition.
