\"PartnerHow SAP licenses are assigned is an essential subject for companies. Likewise, authorization management and license optimization play crucial roles that, unfortunately, often take a back seat to day-to-day business and are subject to poor communication between the respective experts. Effective immediately, the partnership between Snow Software<\/a>, a leading provider of software asset management (SAM) and cloud spend solutions based in Stockholm, Sweden, and akquinet AG<\/a> will provide relief.<\/p>\n

Synergies in SAP license and authorization management<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The partners offer governance, risk and compliance management, license optimization and authorization-based license management as a combined software solution: Connecting SAP-certified software Snow Optimizer for SAP\u00ae<\/sup><\/u><\/a>\u00a0and SAST SUITE<\/u><\/a> rounds out a holistic solution with tools that build on each other and look to the future, both compliant and individually tailored to customer requirements.<\/p>\n

Authorization-based licensing, indirect access, intercompany billing, migration to S\/4 HANA or increasing security and compliance within authorization management especially \u2013 thanks to this partnership, handling all of these challenges have become much less complicated.<\/p>\n

The partnership is also timely: Recently, SAP mentioned license policies for users that focus on authorizations rather than on use.\u00a0 This underscores the importance of addressing this issue now.<\/p>\n

Reducing licenses and authorizations while boosting security and compliance<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Snow Software offers all relevant SAP analysis and license optimization functions, meaning you can lock inactive users and change how users are categorized. You can use AKQUINET’s SAST SUITE<\/a> to round off the package: Ensure that SAP users execute only those transactions and access the data for which they are supposed to be authorized. As a result, user authorizations are cleaned up and authorizations in user roles are reduced to what is necessary.<\/p>\n
