Software asset management (SAM) requires more than just the right tools – it needs partners who have specialist knowledge, experience and a deep understanding of the individual requirements of customers and the system landscape. This is a particular challenge when moving to the SAP cloud with RISE.
The cooperation between HONICO and von strünk consulting is a collaboration that combines precisely these strengths. In the following interview, we talk to Volker Löffler- von Strünk, Managing Director of von strünk consulting, about the background and benefits of this partnership for customers.
Mr. Löffler-von Strünk, why did you decide to cooperate with HONICO and specifically with the Dynamic License Control product?
Volker Löffler-von Strünk: In my many years of experience as an ITAM consultant, I have repeatedly realized how crucial the functionality of software asset management (SAM) tools is to the design of an effective SAM management system. Ideally, the design of the system should be determined primarily by the customer’s core business and specific organization. In practice, many customer solutions are based on the tool manufacturer’s specifications, which means that the customer’s specific structure and business processes are not adequately mapped. In the worst case, this can lead to an expensive bad investment. HONICO impresses with its expertise in the SAP environment and its ability to flexibly adapt solutions such as Dynamic License Control (DLC) to the customer’s individual requirements. This fulfills an important objective: The focus is on customer-specific structures and processes and not on the limitations of a tool.
How do you assess the influence of SAM tools such as DLC specifically on the optimization of SAP Eco systems?
Löffler-von Strünk: SAM tools should always support the specific requirements of a company. When working with HONICO and Dynamic License Control, it is noticeable that the “organization before technology” approach is consistently pursued here. DLC enables a comprehensive assessment and management of all SAP-relevant resources, licenses and processes, including in RISE with SAP. This is crucial to ensure compliance and at the same time make the use of SAP licenses efficient.
What advantages does the cooperation between HONICO and von strünk consulting offer your customers?
Löffler-von Strünk: At von strünk consulting, we attach great importance to providing our clients with strategic and sustainable support in the area of license management. Our strength lies in individual consulting and the development of customized SAM management concepts that take into account the specific structures and goals of a company.
Together, we combine in-depth expertise in IT asset management and SAM tools. Our collaboration with HONICO creates the basis for tailor-made solutions that not only optimally support license management, but also the strategic goals of our customers. Customers benefit from a combination of technological excellence and practical advice.
Thank you very much for the interview, Mr. Löffler-von Strünk.
