As businesses grow and expand, we need to have a robust software system to help manage their operations. SAP is one of the leading providers of enterprise resource planning (ERP) software that businesses use to manage their day-to-day operations. However, purchasing SAP licenses can be a complicated and expensive process, especially for small to medium-sized businesses. This is where a value added reseller (VAR) can come in handy. If you’re navigating this process, a SAP licensing guide can provide much needed clarity around terms, pricing and deployment options.
A VAR is a company that sells SAP licenses and related services to businesses. We provide a range of benefits that make them an attractive option for businesses looking to purchase SAP licenses. In this blog, we will explore the advantages of purchasing SAP licenses through a value added reseller, while also understanding various SAP licensing models that may apply depending on your solution and user needs.
Birchman is the leading independent SAP Value Added Reseller in the UK and an SAP Platinum Partner. We have been a VAR in the UK since 1997, and have been able to offer a value partnership and service to our customers.

Expertise
Birchman has specialised knowledge and expertise in SAP software and licensing. We have a deep understanding of the software and can help businesses navigate the complex licensing process. We can also provide guidance on which licenses to purchase, based on the specific needs of the business.

We are certified by SAP to support our customer (SAP certified Partner Centre of Expertise (PCOE)) and as such have a team of experts who can help businesses troubleshoot any issues that arise and provide guidance on how to optimise the software for the business needs. This can help businesses save time and money in the long run. Our team often refers to the latest SAP licensing guide to ensure our customers stay up to date with any policy changes.

Birchman provides a personalised and flexible service to businesses. We take the time to understand the unique needs of the business and offer tailored solutions.
