S/4HANA migration: Navigating the SAP® multiverse

S/4HANA requires much more than just a change in technology, such as a simple software upgrade or a move to the cloud:

  • To get the most out of S/4HANA, processes need to be transformed
  • The licensing model has changed completely and must first be understood
  • New licenses must be purchased without having recouped old investments
  • SAP software remains costly - despite possible high discounts in contract negotiations
  • The task is to measure differrent SAP landscapes - the SAP multiverse - and maintain an overview

Choose Digital Access or Indirect Access?

Make a decision your budget won’t regret. SAP says Digital Access’s document licensing is easy and convenient – but is it cheaper than indirect access?

Our SAP solution helps you decide by looking at important options such as:

  • Find your indirect access risk, and use our SAP solution to calculate its cost
  • Get a clear, flexible overview of all documents created through indirect access
  • Use your overview to simulate the cost of switching from indirect access to Digital Access
  • Decide if the convenience of document licenses is worth the price that SAP wants you to pay.
