About this episode

SAP is using the end of ECC mainstream maintenance to move its installed base to RISE, and the move surrenders more than most buyers realize: perpetual licenses, negotiated discounts, and fallback options all go with it. Meanwhile digital access, FUE metering, and CPI indexed support each carry their own traps.

Sarah and Michael walk the maintenance calendar that actually applies, the conversion credit decay curve, the digital access settlement playbook, and the term sheet that keeps a RISE deal honest: per FUE caps, credit persistence, fixed ratios, and exit portability.

The model. Redress Compliance works on contingency. You negotiate with the vendor first. When you have gotten everything you can get, bring the deal to Redress and we take 25 percent of what we save you beyond your best number. Nothing saved, nothing paid. Talk to us.
