Contract analysis
Assessment of risks and potential in the context of SAP licence management requires analysis of your SAP contracts. Our solicitors are experts in this field and bridge the gap between the technical aspects of SAP® licences and SAP® licensing contracts.
We can assess compliance risks by developing the contractual framework for usage rights on the basis of contract analysis and by comparing it with and defending it against compliance requirements.
SAP indirect access
minimise risks – avoid insufficient licensing. This package includes analysis of your SAP contracts and licence estates. We determine which forms of indirect access – including through add-ons – occur in your SAP system.

Are you considering switching to the new SAP licence model for indirect access with your company? We’ll be happy to advise you and provide you with well-founded analysis of the associated costs and risks, the contractual agreements you should negotiate with SAP, and the best way to ensure compliance via SAP licence management.
