In my role as CIO of Johnsonville, I am analyzing indirect access, the impact of digital access licensing, and the pros and cons of adopting SAP’s new licensing model. I have committed to documenting that process and sharing insights with you in a series of blog posts.

In my first post, I provided some background and laid out Johnsonville’s high-level approach to the process. In my second post, I walked through the actual steps Johnsonville took to get a first-pass estimate of our document counts. In my third post, I recapped insights and additional questions that resulted from my meeting with the SAP Global License, Audit, and Compliance (GLAC) and Pricing teams. In my fourth post, I brought closure to a number of open questions and issues outlined in my previous posts.

An Update on Johnsonville’s Digital Access Journey

It has been quite a few months since my last blog post chronicling Johnsonville’s journey to evaluate the new SAP Digital Access model. In early October, Johnsonville converted to the Digital Access model to support the integration of our expanding portfolio of best-of-breed solutions and extensions.
