Unlocking Hidden Value
in Your SAP Licenses Before Decommissioning & RISE
Many organizations underestimate the complexity and cost risks hidden in their SAP licenses, especially when preparing for decommissioning projects, system transformations, or RISE with SAP migrations. In this webinar, experts from Voquz Labs and TJC will demonstrate how to identify over-licensing, avoid unnecessary spend, and build a clear, optimized licensing strategy that aligns with long-term SAP roadmaps.
Unlocking Hidden Value
in Your SAP Licenses Before Decommissioning & RISE
When preparing for a RISE with SAP or S/4HANA migration, managing both licensing and decommissioning strategies is essential to control costs and reduce risks.
Organizations often face hidden challenges: underutilized or misclassified licenses on one side, and the complexity of retaining and accessing legacy ECC data on the other. Addressing these issues proactively not only helps avoid compliance pitfalls but also creates measurable financial savings that can be reinvested into transformation projects.
Voquz Labs’ samQ License Management solution provides transparency into SAP license usage, enabling companies to right-size contracts, identify over-licensing, and prepare stronger positions for future negotiations. In parallel, TJC Group’s ELSA Decommissioning Solution delivers a scalable, compliant framework for legacy data, ensuring secure access, integration into analytics and AI, and freedom from vendor lock-in.
Together, Voquz and TJC deliver a proven, integrated approach that empowers organizations to move into their SAP transformation with confidence, efficiency, and cost control.
What will we discuss?
- Understand the most common pitfalls in SAP licensing and how to avoid them.
- Learn how samQ and advisory services help identify and remediate over-licensing.
- Gain practical insights into aligning SAP licensing with RISE and S/4HANA migration plans.
- See how license optimization connects with system decommissioning and long-term compliance using TJC’s ELSA.

Here's a selection of some insightful resources to check before the webinar to get the engine started.
Legacy System Decommissioning for a
Leading Manufacturer
Two years after successfully implementing SAP S/4HANA, the manufacturer recognised the need to decommission its legacy SAP ERP system, aiming to streamline its complex SAP landscape. A key challenge was the need to preserve critical legacy data, including data from divested companies still under audit and HR data for retired pensioners, for long-term access.
Driving GenAI Innovation in S/4HANA Transformation
with Decommissioning
Ever wondered how to modernise systems without sacrificing years of valuable legacy data? Can organisations really upgrade and adapt modern solutions without the fear of losing historical data? Well, this is often the most asked question, or rather a challenge, during the S/4HANA migration. However, what if there is a way to ensure that important legacy data remains unchanged?
Video: Enterprise Legacy System Application (ELSA)
ELSA is a system decommission cloud application to store and access legacy data at any time, from any source, through one single platform. Built on SAP BTP, ELSA allows users to visualise all systems that have been decommissioned (SAP and non-SAP) through the application legacy systems directory.
