Description

Insights in this document were gathered during reference interviews as part of the IDC MarketScape: European SAP Modernization Services 2024 Vendor Assessment (IDC #EUR151806724), which evaluated service providers based in Europe. While vendors vary in terms of their capabilities and strengths (as highlighted in the market evaluation), there were common themes and advice provided by reference customers on how they approach SAP modernization at the enterprise scale. This IDC PeerScape offers advice to IT and business executives on how they can ensure success in the modernization of SAP and migration to S4/HANA. "SAP modernization is a powerful opportunity to transform how a business runs and how people work. Across industries, we see that the true value emerges when modernization efforts translate into streamlined workflows, improved data quality, and faster decision-making for end users. Success depends on matching technology to business goals and guaranteeing real improvements," says Cyrille Chausson, Research Manager, European Application Modernization Strategies, IDC.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
