Ready for SAP license measurement?

If the CIO's forehead is beading with sweat, it's not just because of the summer temperatures: SAP has announced its intention to conduct a software audit.

So far, there has been a lack of clear information on the license inventory and the question marks are already piling up. Which employee actually uses which SAP application? Does the usage correspond to the license type? How many licenses does the company actually have?

The risk of under-licensing and expensive additional payments is threatening. But even without an impending audit, it is worth creating clarity. Because licenses cost money.

This is where great savings potential lies hidden. As SAP landscapes are constantly changing, a one-off inventory is not enough. A permanent and fully automated solution is needed.

This is provided by the SAP license manager SamQ (formerly LiMan) from Voquz. The SAP add-on determines the current license inventory, checks the existing licenses against actual usage and automatically changes the license type or deactivates licenses that are not being used in the event of deviations.

Additional users can be activated just as quickly and easily. Extensive customizing options and an interface to all common SAM tools are available.
