Content for SAP user surveys

SAP assessments used to consist of mindless reading of manually assigned license types. Today, companies are confronted with critical SAP compliance management issues. They have to choose between expensive Professional User and a cost reduction through restricted user types.

A translation of SAP transactions into SAP license types based on proven best practice content is available with the Sample solution.
Scope due to blurring

The interpretations of the SAP license types in the form of the "sharp" and "fuzzy" profiles represent the scope within the fuzziness of an SAP price list. From this, the interpretation can be customized with little effort through variance analyses and evaluation of the relevant transactions.

In addition to the SAP standard license types, Sample provides a method for translating customer-specific special user profiles in the same way, e.g. limited professional users defined in individual contracts.

The Sample Content can be imported into common license management tools and used there to measure and optimize the license inventory. For medium-sized SAP users who do not have their own license management tool in use, the interpretation can alternatively be performed on the sample platform.

The sample content can be provided in its entirety for the customer's own use. Sample measurement is also available as a one-time service or as a regular service as part of a license management service.

Sample measurement was originally developed to optimize license and maintenance costs. In the case of user underlicensing, the most favorable user types are automatically determined with which the underlicensing can be covered.

This "intelligent" form of SAP measurement thus serves to optimize costs while maintaining compliance. As part of the requirement to secure user compliance through suitable authorization concepts, Sample Content can easily be used to evaluate user authorizations.

S/4 license types

With the translation of S/4 license types, e.g. Functional Use, into ECC transactions, it is possible to forecast license distribution under the S/4 license model based on ECC usage.

This gives ECC users the opportunity to commercially evaluate the consequences of a license model migration and thus prepare a decision for their SAP licensing strategy.
