SAP licensing intelligence

Turn licensing into a managed value decision.

A practical SAP licensing analysis and cost-benefit service for ECC, S/4HANA, digital access and changing enterprise landscapes.

The Zircoo view

Make the next move
more usable.

Zircoo Licensing Intelligence helps CIOs, CFOs, procurement leaders and SAP owners understand what is entitled, what is consumed, what is exposed to audit risk and which operating-model choices create the strongest value. We build the evidence before the negotiation, model the five-year implications and keep licensing connected to AMS, hosting, transformation, integrations and the customer experience result.

ScopeEnterprise capability
SAP Licensing Intelligence

Make every license
earn its place.

Licensing analysis is most valuable when it connects entitlement, consumption, architecture and business direction. Zircoo helps leaders see the cost, risk and option value before a renewal, audit, migration or acquisition makes the decision urgent.

Value-weighted offerings

Analysis that produces
an action, not a spreadsheet.

Each offering is scoped to the landscape, contract, evidence available and decision horizon. Planning ranges are not audit conclusions or contractual advice. They are a disciplined starting point for validation with the customer, SAP and qualified counsel.

01Value lever

License Baseline Studio

Normalize contracts, order forms, metrics, user types, products, support terms, environments and renewal dates into a single executive baseline.

Cost-benefit lens

Savings lever: expose shelfware, duplicate entitlements and avoidable renewal assumptions before they become embedded cost.

02Value lever

Digital Access Exposure Review

Trace APIs, bots, devices, portals, integrations and non-SAP applications that create or read information in the digital core, then model document and user implications.

Cost-benefit lens

Savings lever: replace uncertainty with evidence, scenario ranges and a controlled response to indirect-use questions.

03Value lever

User and Role Optimization

Map role design, activity levels, duplicate accounts, dormant access, segregation of duties and actual work patterns across ECC and S/4HANA.

Cost-benefit lens

Savings lever: right-size access, reduce avoidable high-cost assignments and improve security at the same time.

04Value lever

Transformation Cost Modeling

Compare retain, retire, consolidate, convert, redesign and migrate options with licensing, AMS, infrastructure, data, integration, training and change cost included.

Cost-benefit lens

Savings lever: choose the operating model that creates the strongest five-year value case, not the lowest headline subscription.

05Value lever

Renewal and Negotiation Pack

Build an evidence pack with baseline, gaps, consumption trend, business priorities, options, risks, questions and a negotiation position for procurement and executive sponsors.

Cost-benefit lens

Savings lever: negotiate from a fact pattern, with trade-offs visible and decisions sequenced before the deadline.

06Value lever

License Governance Office

Keep the baseline current as users, acquisitions, divestitures, interfaces, products, environments and system changes move through the business.

Cost-benefit lens

Savings lever: prevent new exposure from returning after a successful audit, renewal or transformation decision.

Five-stage method

See the full decision
before you sign it.

01

Discover

Collect agreements, system evidence, user and role signals, interfaces, add-ons and business plans.

02

Normalize

Create a common metric dictionary, entitlement map, product hierarchy and ownership model.

03

Model

Run baseline, risk, redesign, renewal, migration and cost-benefit scenarios with clear assumptions.

04

Decide

Give the CIO, CFO, procurement and SAP leadership a ranked set of actions and negotiation choices.

05

Govern

Monitor consumption, change and exposure so value is sustained after the immediate decision.

Landscape coverage

Model the moments
where spend moves.

Licensing decisions change when the system, business model or access pattern changes. Zircoo keeps those scenarios visible.
