ITAM SAP Group: Spend Money With SAP to Make Spurious Indirect Claims Go Away?

As we shared in previous newsletter - SAP is suing and strong arming customers.  Findings from ITAM's SAP Special Interest Group find the same issues.  BEFORE YOU NEGOTIATE or RENEW WITH SAP, have NET(net) review your estate.  SAP is playing hardball with even its best customers:

"SIG participants suggested that indirect claims were predatory, and that spending money with SAP made spurious indirect access claims go away. Spend money, or buy strategic growth products important to SAP such as HANA. One SIG member quoted their SAP account manager who said “wouldn’t it be easier just to settle with us and pay than to go to court”. Tantamount to BLACKMAIL."  Click below to read entire text of group findings.
