Is SAP compliance enough? Why compliance alone is not a strategy for optimisation

Many companies today assume that they are automatically ‘compliant’ in the SAP Cloud – and therefore see no need for further action.

However, compliance does not automatically mean optimal licensing. In practice, we see time and again that even cloud customers have entered into oversized contracts, thereby leaving significant potential for optimisation untapped.

At the same time, the complexity of licensing continues to rise, particularly due to authorisation-based models. Employees leave the company, change roles internally, or adapt their working methods. Studies show that around 8–12% of the workforce changes externally each year, and a further 5–10% undergo internal role or task changes.

For SAP licensing, this means:

Every year, a significant proportion of users may no longer be correctly authorised and licensed in SAP – even in supposedly ‘stable’ cloud environments.

In our joint webinar with Flexera, we will demonstrate:

• why ‘cloud compliance’ is not a free pass,
• where hidden costs lie in existing SAP contracts,
• and how companies can maintain long-term control over their licensing model despite organisational changes.
