SAP license and contract expertise
SAP is a publisher with a strong presence in IT, recognized for the performance of its ERP and its visionary approach.
SAP is a publisher at the center of attention
The annualization of declarative audits raises serious questions: what data is sent to SAP via SLAW2? What is our User and Engine compliance position? What is our level of indirect usage? Are our prices competitive? We can help you anticipate and calmly address these questions.

Indirect Usage and SAP Digital Access
Regarding indirect SAP usage, we can carry out risk analyses based on the old metrics (to the user) or the new metric (Digital Access / Documents). For the Digital Access approach, the objective is to build business cases in order to assess the impact of converting to the Digital Access licensing model.
Based on analyses of generic accounts identified during analyses of hidden usage through tables and USMM, we carry out the following work:
Identification of standard documents used
Implementation of calculated business cases (separation of “master” documents and “related” documents i.e. subsequent, application of coefficients, costing according to several business models)
Calculation of proposed business cases: two-year projection to identify strategy with SAP.
