What will the migration to S/4 HANA cost ?
What will the migration to S/4HANA cost? IG SAP CH is warning and demanding that the migration to S/4HANA should be free for existing SAP customers as a simple version change. The SAP user advocacy group IG SAP CH is known as a strong critic of the German software giant. The group, in which around 80 companies are involved, vehemently called for SAP to adjust prices for software maintenance to currency trends. Bernd Brandl, who has been holding the reins at SAP Switzerland for two years, was however unwilling to listen to this appeal, as our readers will know. The group recently announced in a newsletter that it is continuing to use every possible means of swaying SAP. It states that because the euro conversion rate for maintenance costs for SAP systems is fixed between CHF 1.17 and CHF 1.60, Swiss SAP users still pay up to 50 percent more than customers in other countries. Is S/4HANA a completely new product? In the newsletter, IG SAP CH raises another extremely important question. Is the latest version of SAP‘s business software something completely new and must therefore be purchased by existing customers or is S/4HANA a new version already paid for through ongoing maintenance charges? It is known that SAP is currently offering good prices to customers who opt for S/4HANA. SAP is using subscription offers to encourage the “premature purchase“ of S/4HANA licenses, the group writes. But it argues that it would be impossible to put a figure on the scope and costs involved in a migration concept like this. SAP itself clearly sees S/4HANA as a completely new product, which must be paid for accordingly. This at least is how one can interpret the introduction in the white paper “Simplification List for SAP S/4HANA“, which states: „S/4HANA (...) is not a legal successor of any SAP Business Suite product.“ The group is demanding that existing customers should not have to pay license fees over again for S/4HANA. “We say NO – the migration to S/4HANA must be available as an upgrade to change versions as part of normal maintenance,“ the newsletter says. http://www.inside-it.ch/articles/42944
