Stop Rising Costs: Optimize FUEs Before SAP Cloud ERP Renewal
Why incorrectly allocated FUEs can artificially inflate "growth costs"—and how to align usage rights with actual consumption.
One of the most discussed challenges in the SAP environment right now is FUE inflation caused by contract renewals. Companies preparing their first comprehensive SAP Cloud ERP Private Edition renewals often face rising contract values, dwindling credits, and increasing pressure to purchase additional Full Usage Equivalents (FUEs)—even though actual usage has barely changed. The real cost problem often lies not in company growth, but in incorrect FUE allocation, historically grown role structures, and outdated SAP ECC authorization concepts that are now mapped to more expensive cloud usage categories.
In this webinar, we'll show you how to break this cycle.
VOQUZ Labs explains how to verify whether your current allocation of Advanced Use, Core Use, and Self-Service Use truly aligns with business needs, where incorrect mappings lead to artificial subscription growth, and how regular quarterly analyses prevent the "more FUEs = more security" approach from automatically becoming the basis for future contract negotiations.
This content is particularly relevant for SAP platform teams, license managers, and SAP Basis administrators who want to avoid renewal discussions automatically leading to unplanned contract extensions.
The session demonstrates how changes in the distribution of usage rights can be continuously monitored, linked to financial impacts, and used to establish a solid foundation for decision-making. This provides teams with the necessary transparency to strategically redistribute and optimize FUEs before contract renewals.
Combined with VOQUZ Labs' licensing expertise, renewal preparation transforms from a reactive price increase discussion into a proactive cost optimization opportunity.
Key takeaways from the webinar:
Identify the causes of FUE inflation
Validate actual FUE needs
Correct misassignments in role and authorization concepts
Avoid cost increases due to contract renewals
