Providing SAP customers with SAP BTP based tool to self-evaluate SAP landscape usage, optimize existing and simulate future SAP user license requirements by calculating a reliable number of Full Use Equivalents (FUEs).
We address three main scenarios for reliable self-assessment and monitoring of your SAP landscape in terms of SAP S/4HANA Enterprise Management Users, or Full Use Equivalents requirements.
𝐔𝐬𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐬𝐞 #1 | 𝐑𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐩𝐞 𝐄𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐅𝐮𝐥𝐥 𝐔𝐬𝐞 𝐄𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 (𝐅𝐔𝐄𝐬)
A key element of moving towards SAP S/4HANA Enterprise Management is understanding how legacy SAP ECC On-Premise Named User Licenses (NUL) are converted to SAP S/4HANA Enterprise Management Users, or Full Use Equivalent requirements.
For an SAP system, or consolidation of SAP systems, you can see Full Use Equivalents and estimated costs according to your regional SAP Price List.
𝐔𝐬𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐬𝐞 #2 | “𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈𝐟” 𝐒𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐬 𝐌𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠
Self-assessment of FUE requirements provides enhanced clarity and helps to model different “what if” scenarios via adjustment of SAP Roles, SAP Roles assignment and SAP User responsibilities in the landscape.
Now you can make fast and reliable budget assessment of your implementation project impact on SAP software use.
𝐔𝐬𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐬𝐞 #3 | 𝐅𝐮𝐥𝐥 𝐔𝐬𝐞 𝐄𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 (𝐅𝐔𝐄𝐬) 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠
As soon as you optimize your SAP landscape Full Use Equivalents, you can keep monitoring Full Use Equivalents trends and get notifications on use increase, so that you could understand what leads to the increase and whether there’s been planned authorization adjustment.
Continuous evaluation of FUE requirements provide licensing transparency, predictability, and simplicity.

3. Transforming towards S/4HANA and moving to a simplified new
license model?
• A key element of moving towards SAP S/4HANA Enterprise
Management is understanding how legacy SAP ECC On-Premise
Named User Licenses (NUL) relate and compare to respective
SAP S/4HANA Enterprise Management Users, or Full Use
Equivalent requirements.

8. SAP BTP Destination Service
• Destination service from SAP BTP
is used to set up a secured
connection between SAP On
Premise systems and SAP BTP.
That is done via SAP Cloud
Connector
• Once SAP Cloud Connector is
installed and configured, you just
need to create ABAP RFC
connections in SAP BTP
Destinations service for your SAP
On Premise systems
SAP BTP Integration Suite
• Data flows from SAP On Premise
systems to Skybuffer Cloud Tenant via
SAP BTP Integration Suite
• Skybuffer provides ready for
deployment SAP BTP Integration Suite
scenario including authorization role
• Skybuffer Cloud Tenant access to SAP
BTP Integration Suite scenario is
organized via user propagation
mechanism (simply saying, you just
need to grant access to the email of
lasm@skybuffer.com)
SAP On Premise Add-on
Skybuffer provides two options of
data extractor deployment on your
SAP On Premise system:
• Skybuffer add-on for SAP that is
packed via SAP AAK tool for
partner developed add-ons
• External transports, in case
partner’s SAP add-on installation
approval might require long
approval process.

Connection to Skybuffer Tenant
• Once SAP BTP deployment is done, you can
connect your SAP BTP tenant to Skybuffer
Tenant
• That is as simple as adding SAP BTP link via
Skybuffer Connections application
09
10. | SAP Landscape Potential Use
Data Extraction from SAP On Premise Systems
• After Connections are configured, you will
see all SAP On Premise systems available in
SAP BTP Destinations and have Skybuffer
add-on installed
• You can request as many datasets as
necessary
10
11. | SAP Landscape Potential Use
Consolidations
• Consolidations are used for Full Use
Equivalents aggregated analysis that
considers most powerful license of the user
in all systems
• You can consolidate systems from different
installation numbers
11
12. | SAP Landscape Potential Use
Potential Use Evaluation
• For a system or consolidation, you can see
Full Use Equivalents and estimated costs
according to your regional SAP Price List
• You can modify Roles and Roles Assignment
to optimize FUEs
