Case Study: Global Specialty Chemicals Manufacturer achieves SAP renewal readiness in 7 days and $200,000 savings with Certero for SAP Applications

Global Specialty Chemicals Manufacturer Gets SAP Renewal Ready in Just 7 Days

Global Specialty Chemicals Manufacturer, a manufacturing business operating across 20 countries with 2,000+ devices, faced urgent SAP licensing uncertainty ahead of a renewal—no SAM program, limited visibility into usage and agreements, and only seven days to prepare. Already using Certero’s Passworks self‑service on the Certero Unified Platform, they engaged Certero and its Certero for SAP Applications product and Effective License Position for SAP service to rapidly address the risk.

Certero activated Certero for SAP Applications on the existing platform (no new servers required) and deployed its SAP licensing specialists to assess entitlements and usage; within seven days they quantified the true license position, identified $200,000 of unused SAP Named User licenses to eliminate, and enabled a favorable contract renegotiation, delivering ROI in seven days (16x return). The Global Specialty Chemicals Manufacturer retained Certero to provide ongoing visibility, governance and scalable SAM capability.
