How to renew smarter and improve cost controls with SAP spend optimization:
Gain clarity into SAP licensing, reduce audit risk, and make confident renewal and S/4HANA decisions.
SAP environments rarely become simpler over time. Contracts span decades, product names change, and institutional knowledge disappears. As complexity grows, many organizations lose sight of two critical answers: what they own and what they actually use.
That gap creates real business risk. Audit exposure increases. Teams base renewal decisions on assumptions rather than facts. Major initiatives such as S/4HANA migrations or cloud transitions can carry forward unnecessary cost and inefficiency.
SHI® SAP Spend Optimization Services help you regain control by building a clear, defensible SAP licensing position. This approach replaces guesswork with insight, enabling leaders to make informed decisions with confidence rather than react under pressure.
SAP Spend Optimization Services: Start with clarity
When you engage our licensing experts, we begin with a focused SAP License and Audit Readiness Health Check. This step highlights potential audit triggers, identifies gaps between perceived and actual entitlements, and prioritizes the most important actions.
From there, we connect contract data with real usage insights. Your teams gain visibility into both what they own and how they use it, enabling more accurate planning and stronger renewal strategies.
Turn SAP complexity into measurable outcomes
With a clear view of licensing and usage, your organization can realize meaningful business benefits:
- Reduce audit and compliance risk by establishing a clear and defensible SAP licensing position.
- Make confident renewal and S/4HANA decisions with full visibility into entitlements and usage.
- Lower unnecessary spend by identifying over-licensing, shelfware, and avoidable true-ups.
- Strengthen negotiation outcomes by entering discussions with validated data instead of assumptions.
- Improve visibility and control as contracts, environments, and usage evolve over time.
This clarity helps business leaders evaluate SAP proposals, assess indirect access exposure, and plan migrations without carrying hidden inefficiencies into new models.
For CIOs, CTOs, and CFOs, our SAP licensing experts give you the opportunity to replace uncertainty with a defensible position and turn SAP licensing into a source of control.
