FinOptory Managed Service

SAP contract governance as a Managed Service.

FinOptory.AI and our team: we take over ongoing governance. You decide.

For Whom

Analyze. Govern. Decide.

The Managed Service takes over ongoing governance of your SAP contracts. Governance is a permanent task for which sufficient internal capacity is rarely available.

Enterprise with complex portfolios.

Multiple SAP product types, ongoing amendments, strategic renewal dates. You have lost the overview, or never had it. You want to delegate governance in a structured way without giving up control.

Internal team at its limits.

You officially own SAP contracts, but day-to-day there is no time to continuously monitor contract mechanics and compliance. Reactive instead of proactive.

Strategic decisions without a data basis.

Before renewal or negotiation, you need well-founded recommendations with options. What you get today is raw data that someone has to interpret.

Scope

You delegate the task. Not control.

FinOptory.AI analyzes. Human experts assess, prioritize, and take responsibility. Our team knows your contract.

Your portfolio is governed continuously, not handled occasionally.

Compliance, clauses, usage, costs: all under daily observation.

Renewal arrives with lead time, not as a surprise.

Renewal dates, negotiation windows, and commercial risks are identified early. You have time to react.

Concrete recommendations, not raw data.

We assess, prioritize, and propose. You decide, we execute.

One point of contact.

A familiar person who knows your contract. No ramp-up time with every engagement.

  • Ongoing contract governance across the entire SAP portfolio
  • Compliance monitoring and proactive risk flagging
  • Renewal and negotiation preparation
  • Cost and volume tracking with actionable recommendations
  • Funding and credit allocation
  • Dedicated point of contact
Architecture

Same platform. Same AI. Extended by responsibility.

Self-Service and Managed Service use the same technology. The difference is who takes over governance. In the Managed Service, a steady team does.

Platform

Structured data foundation

All contract types, metrics, and commercial models in one central logic. 9 SAP product types, 5 commercial models.

AI

Analysis in the background

FinOptory.AI handles the volume: analysis, structuring, compliance checks, pattern recognition. Continuously, not on request.

Team

Human accountability

Our team carries the responsibility: assessment, prioritization, recommendation. We govern, you decide.

Working Rhythm

Governance in rhythm, not in escalations.

SAP contracts need continuous attention. We work with fixed processes so you do not miss dates and risks do not pile up.

Data and signals

FinOptory.AI continuously analyzes contract data, usage, and metrics. Anomalies are flagged automatically.

02

Human assessment

Our team evaluates signals, prioritizes options, and prepares concrete recommendations.

03

Review and decision

A regular, structured review report with prioritized recommendations. You decide, we implement.

04

Proactive preparation

Renewal dates, negotiation windows, and commercial risks: identified early, not handled reactively.

Dedicated point of contact

One consistent person who knows your contract, understands your priorities, and carries ongoing responsibility.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Costs, scope, and collaboration

What does the Managed Service cost?

The Managed Service is tiered by annual SAP spend under governance: Standard from EUR 85,000 per year for spend up to EUR 5M, from EUR 115,000 for EUR 5M to 15M, from EUR 160,000 for over EUR 15M. Premium sits 30 percent above Standard, price on request.

How does the Managed Service differ from Self-Service?

Both use the same platform and the same AI. The difference is accountability: with the Managed Service, our team handles ongoing governance, assessment, and prioritization. With Self-Service, you work with the platform yourself. The Managed Service is for customers who want to delegate governance.

Do I need a separate platform licence?

No. The platform is fully included in the Managed Service. All product types, all features, no separate licence model.

How does day-to-day collaboration work?

Structured review cycles, one dedicated point of contact, proactive recommendations. No ticket system, no consultant roulette, no reactive escalation. You receive structured reviews and decide.

What is the difference between Standard and Premium?

Standard provides bi-weekly reviews, quarterly steerings, mail response within 5 business days, 5h ad-hoc per quarter, and renewal accompaniment. Premium adds a 3-day review cycle, monthly steerings, mail response within 2 business days plus hotline, 15h ad-hoc per quarter, negotiation lead at renewal, a dedicated service manager for the entire term, and monthly reporting plus custom analyses.
