With the speed at which digitalization is going, having the right SAP licenses for your SAP system is a must. And how do you know you are compliant with current licenses?

Complexity
The licensing need is not always immediately obvious in combination with the appropriate user types. Assigning a user license type correctly requires knowledge of SAP licenses and the user’s transactional usage on the system in question. The real complexity is in the packaged-based licenses. SAP uses various “business metrics” for this purpose. Common examples include: the number of FTEs, transactions, your total revenue, your total procurement, Digital Access, etc. Quinso reviews with you the most optimal composition of the SAP license contract for your company.
