2026-02-05 · 6 min read
SAP true-ups punish shelfware. Usage analytics plus auto-deprovisioning workflows reclaim dormant licenses before renewal — typically 30–40% savings within 90 days.
Find dormant licenses first
SAM starts with per-user usage reports across SAP, M365, and Oracle. Classify users as live, dormant, or zombie — then model reclaim scenarios before touching production assignments.
Automate reclaim with approval gates
Auto-disable workflows route deprovisioning cases through approval policies. ATS SAM Copilot drafts cases with savings estimates. Integration with IGA ensures access removal is complete, not just license reclamation on paper.
