SAP's indirect access and digital access licensing is one of the most complex, contentious, and expensive areas in enterprise software. Document-based pricing, API interactions, bot access, and third-party integrations all create licensing obligations most enterprises don't fully understand. We provide the clarity you need.
If third-party systems, websites, portals, bots, or APIs create, read, update, or delete data in SAP — you likely have digital access licensing obligations. Most enterprises significantly underestimate this exposure.
SAP increasingly uses indirect access as leverage in negotiations and audits. If SAP has mentioned it, they're building a case. You need independent assessment of your actual exposure before engaging.
New CRM integrations, e-commerce platforms, IoT connections, or RPA bots that interact with SAP data all create potential licensing requirements. We help you architect solutions that minimize licensing costs.
We map every system, interface, and process that interacts with SAP — APIs, IDocs, RFCs, web services, and database connections. We quantify your exposure under both the old named-user model and the new document-based model.
We model your exposure under SAP's different licensing approaches — named users, digital access documents, and hybrid models. You get a clear financial comparison to make the optimal decision.
Armed with your actual exposure data, we build a negotiation strategy for resolving digital access with SAP — whether through license purchase, contractual restructuring, or architectural changes that reduce exposure.
We provide guidance on integration architecture that minimizes digital access licensing requirements — helping your IT team design compliant solutions that don't create unnecessary SAP costs.
SAP claimed $18M in indirect access back-licensing across our integration landscape. Redress Compliance mapped every interface, challenged SAP's measurement methodology, and negotiated a digital access resolution for $4.2M. They understand SAP digital access better than SAP does.
