Case Study: Fortune 500 Company achieves 90% lower SAP license management overhead with Flexera

Fortune 500 Company Gained Control of SAP License Management and Spend

A Fortune 500 company with operations in more than 100 countries faced major challenges managing its SAP software investment, including difficulty tracking actual usage, overbuying expensive licenses, heavy manual administration, and inaccurate chargeback and forecasting. It turned to Flexera and selected FlexNet Manager for SAP Applications to gain control over SAP license management and spending.

Flexera implemented its Software License Optimization solution, giving the company detailed visibility into SAP usage and helping it match users to the right license types. As a result, administrative overhead fell by more than 90%, high-cost Professional User licenses dropped by about 40%, chargeback became more accurate and fair, and the company could better forecast future SAP licensing needs.
