Webinar with ASSI to clarify SAP licensing

"Great is the confusion under the sky of licensing, and SAP is no exception."

This is the (perfectly fitting) title of the webinar organized by the ASSI association, which was broadcast live on YouTube on April 15 at 11:00 AM.

We all know that IT spending on software licenses can reach up to 40%. Between vendor lock-in, changes in contract models, the shift to SaaS, and increasingly complex usage rules, license optimization is no longer just a technical issue: it’s a business strategy.

It requires expertise, awareness, and the ability to read between the lines of contracts.

That’s why ASSI invited our SAM/ITAM Ambassador Jary Busato, MBA as a speaker, to try to shed some light on the – far from simple – topic of licensing SAP’s core.

During the session, Jary Busato, MBA explored key aspects to help navigate the complex SAP licensing landscape:

✅ Methods for counting SAP users (FUE, STAR, developers, etc.)
✅ Indirect access: APIs, RPA, SAP Analytics Cloud
✅ Database licenses: what’s allowed, what’s not, and what can create ambiguity
✅ The RISE with SAP model, focusing on infrastructure, services, and BTP
✅ News and trends: Transition Option, Customer Measurement Service, and other relevant updates
