Digital Access Evaluation Service
Overview
In April 2018, SAP introduced a new pricing model where direct human access to the Digital Core systems (ERP & S/4HANA) will continue to be licensed on the number of users, while all indirect access will be charged based on the number of documents associated to nine specific Document types (see also www.sap.com/indirectaccess).
With the free-of-charge Digital Access Evaluation Service, SAP offers their customers support to determine the estimated initial number of digital access documents. Based on a detailed evaluation of the relevant document types, customers will have a basis for the decision whether SAP Digital Access is the suitable license model for the future. The result can be used as a baseline for the Digital Access Adoption Program.
