From SAP Licensing to Maintenance
Whether you are already an SAP customer or new to the SAP universe, Zircoo will provide you with fast, expert and value-for-money support.
Licensing optimisation and migration for existing SAP customers
Switching to SAP S/4 HANA brings technical challenges and changes to licensing. Four aspects to consider when it comes to software licensing.
User access
Simplify user models, boost access to digital processes. Enhance satisfaction and productivity by minimizing steps.
LoB and industry solutions
Ensure proper licensing for all engines to avoid complications. Consult experts for specific use cases.
Database
You also require proper licences for SAP HANA, which is a cutting-edge in-memory database system developed by SAP.
Indirect usage/digital access
It is important to note that any solutions outside of SAP that are able to access SAP S/4 HANA will be considered digital access and must be taken into consideration.
There are also various ways, or metrics, for measuring usage: in addition to tradition user licences some solutions are licensed according to turnover, data volume (gigabytes), a flat fee or the number of documents.
Exploring your options: Two important considerations for SAP customers preparing to migrate to S/4 HANA.
Product Conversion
To migrate to S/4 HANA, purchase “SAP S/4 HANA Enterprise Management for ERP customers” which makes you “SAP S/4 HANA-ready” from a licensing perspective. Industry and LOB solutions should be licensed separately. However, if you already use these solutions and want to migrate them to S/4 HANA you might offset some of the cost.
Contract Conversion
Are you struggling to decide between Product and Contract Conversion for your SAP licensing needs? Let us assist you in making the best choice for your business. Keep in mind that Contract Conversion may potentially offset up to 100% of previous investments, while Product may offer other benefits. Trust our expertise to guide you through this decision-making process.
Benefits of SAP BI
SAP Application Management Services ensure optimal SAP performance, freeing up headspace for strategic priorities.
Cloud Extension Policy
Convert on-premises SAP to native cloud solutions with the Cloud Extension Policy, available separately or in combination with a Product or Contract Conversion. However, note the five-year minimum term and that the cloud subscription fee must exceed the value of the decommissioned maintenance.
Digital access/indirect usage
IT systems usage has evolved with digitalisation. Third-party access from bots and machines, as well as client and supplier systems, is increasing. Digital Access enables usage-based licensing for business processes. Certain documents identify indirect access-triggered processes. We'll assess and evaluate risks, ensure compliance, and design a future-proof licensing strategy.
