A pan-European retail group ("the customer") has opted for software and services from USU to optimize its group-wide software license management. The USU Software Asset Management (SAM) solution for SAP(R) software is being used in the company's own data center. The aim of the project is to determine the best possible license usage for the entire SAP portfolio and to ensure compliance by means of transparent, automated control of purchased and used software. More than 50 SAP contracts currently regulate the use of a double-digit number of SAP systems within the customer organization.
