SAP’s licensing model is changing fast, and that change could lock you into costly, inflexible choices if you don’t act on your own terms. At Rapid X, we work with forward-thinking IT leaders who want clarity and control - not confusion and pressure - when navigating the transition to SAP S/4HANA. 

That’s why we’re sharing this latest Gartner piece: 

What Critical Factors Affect My SAP S/4HANA Licensing Decision?  

This essential guide outlines the real-world commercial and strategic considerations that should shape your next move – including: 

  • Choosing your licensing path based on business needs, not pressure from SAP
  • How to maximise incentives before time runs out
  • How to negotiate proactively 
  • How third-party support could play a part

As your trusted partner, we don't just help you evaluate technical fit; we help you make commercially sound, future-proof decisions. We understand the nuances of both perpetual and subscription-based licensing, and we use market insights – like this report – to ensure you stay in control.
