FisherITS launches SAP License-Management-as-a-Service (LaaS) to help enterprises reduce SAP Software License costs. The service aims to deliver a high ROI by using our experience in non-compliance detection, over licensing advisory, contract review, contract negotiation, contract risk evaluation and optimization.
London, United Kingdom - June 13, 2018 /NewsNetwork/ —
Fisher IT Asset Consulting (FisherITS) ) is pleased to announce our new service for the provision of SAP Compliance and Cost Optimization Services (LaaS).
This new service will introduce automation and strengthen FisherITS’ capability in SAP license compliance measurement, license re-allocation optimization and Indirect Access identification.
Following the industry rumours about SAP’s up-coming changes in audit practices around Indirect Access and Authorization Based Licensing for Users, FisherITS hope that this new service will enable SAP customers to adopt and benefit from SAP-specific Software Asset Management (SAM) best practices. FisherITS believes its LaaS will create greater cost efficiencies for our customers while significantly reducing their license compliance risk.
Just like other LaaS services offered by FisherITS, the SAP LaaS combines the core audit processes of:
· License Record Verification, Import and Registration – discovery of current and legacy contracts and any other types of Proof of Entitlement, and consolidate the data before aggregation, analytics and ultimately the production of consolidated License Entitlement quantities;
· License Usage Measurement – measurement of license deployment and usage in accordance to specific license terms, metrics and restrictions;
· Reconciliation and ELP Generation – We will reconcile Licence Entitlement quantities to license usage and generate Effective Licence Positions for each in-scope allocation.
· License Optimisation – Alongside the ELP report, FisherITS will provide a recommendation report with tactical ‘quick wins’ where minor amendment to process can result in significant reduction in risk or license cost within 3 months, as well as strategic change to SAP landscape and/or architecture that may benefit the cost-effectiveness of customers’ long-term SAP investment .
Eric Chiu, Managing Director of FisherITS, says: ‘this new service will enable FisherITS to be able to provide our customers with reliable SAP licensing insights quickly. These include the ability to carry out ‘Rapid Vendor Analysis’ across the enterprise to either meet the demands of any SAP spot audit, or to enable the organization to negotiate a new agreement. Even with the changes in audit policy by SAP around Indirect Usage and Authorized Based Licensing, we are still finding that the combination of our unique SAP auditing techniques and the provision of tools can quickly and effectivity help companies to validate their Indirect Access Usage position.’
