SAP is going to recalculate the maintenance fees based on three product families: Business Suite, database technology analytics, and mobile solutions. SAP is doing this to make calculations easier. For example, if a customer wants to cancel 50 mobility licenses, it will not have to recalculate maintenance for Business Suite licenses – the latter will stay the same.
Computerworld UK spoke to Jens Bernotat, SAP’s VP of Strategy & Business Development Maintenance Go-To-Market, who explained how customers might be able to take advantage of the new offer.
Bernotat said that customers with a good volume discount price are unlikely to benefit from terminating licenses.
