Optimization for SAP

Cut SAP costs, keep SAP compliance

Smart SAP rules for engines and packages

Your SAP landscape is a huge network of systems and user accounts that is reconfigured almost daily. With so many changes, it’s challenging to ensure your company pays only for the licenses you need.

That’s why USU Software Asset Management has the most intelligent SAP rule definitions in the industry. You get the right information to determine individual license usage for each SAP engine and package, and to simulate big license changes such as migrating to S/4HANA.

Our solution finds the most cost-effective SAP licenses while ensuring you are compliant with SAP’s license measurements.

Top 3 benefits of optimization for SAP

Optimize and save

You’ll save an average 10% in costs by optimizing your SAP licenses, seen in the next 3-month cycle.

Stay fully compliant

Run your usage results against SAP audit tools (like LAW and USMM) to always be compliant with contract terms.

Automate for efficiency

Put SAP processes on autopilot – like allocating licenses, retiring unused licenses, and assigning lowest-cost named users.

Know your S/4HANA migration costs

SAP wants its customers to migrate to S/4HANA quickly. But you risk of paying too much if you rush into this change. A cost-effective migration starts with analyzing your current SAP environment, which is where our SAP solution comes in:

Simulate different scenarios to forecast your migration costs
Determine how many licenses you need for “SAP Professional,” “SAP Functional,” or “SAP Productivity”
Automatically convert to the most cost-effective S/4HANA licenses and avoid over-licensing
Uncover cost-saving potential in your current SAP estate to use against your S/4HANA license purchases

You'll benefit from
