Why SAP Negotiations Are a Class of Their Own

01

Rigid Bundles Like RISE

SAP RISE bundles infrastructure, apps, and services—but makes it hard to disaggregate. Without leverage, you’re locked in.

02

Audits as a Sales Tool

SAP uses licensing audits to initiate commercial negotiations. The audit isn't a neutral check—it's step one in a sales cycle.

03

Traps in the Fine Print

Most SAP customers don’t realize their indirect access exposure, shelfware accumulation, or outdated metrics until the renewal or audit hits.

04

Forecast Games

SAP bakes growth into their models regardless of your roadmap. The cost curve is set before you even review usage.

05

Overage Claims Are
Weaponized

Clients often receive “ransom letters” claiming millions in retroactive license fees. We help you dispute, deflate, and reset the terms.

We Don’t Just Defend. We Counter and Reset.

TNG gives you the internal playbook, pricing intel, and rebuttal strategy to turn a high-pressure renewal into a high-leverage win.

Rebuttal Modeling & Negotiation Strategy

We challenge SAP’s assumptions, rationalize license counts, and script your response strategy so you never negotiate from a corner.

RISE Reset

We help you unbundle SAP RISE, disaggregate services, and restructure terms so your cloud move supports your strategy—not SAP’s quota.

License & Contract Exposure Review

We dissect SAP agreements, order forms, and audit reports to identify flawed logic, overreach, and exposure gaps—then build a case that holds up.

Restructure the Relationship

From revised digital access terms to RISE unbundling and new commercial constructs, we help clients use SAP pressure moments to reset the entire foundation.
