How to buy enterprise testing, AppSec and SAP software through Merito

What does a value-added reseller do for software testing and AppSec tools?

A value-added reseller (VAR) supplies a vendor's software licenses together with the services that make them work. For testing and application security tools, Merito quotes the license, designs the rollout, integrates the tool with CI/CD and work tracking, trains the team and stays on for support and renewals.

Buying the license and the delivery from one partner means one quote and one team accountable for whether the tool is adopted, instead of a license from the vendor and a separate services firm.

• License quotes on the vendor's terms, or on SAP paper for SAP products
• Implementation, CI/CD integration and training scoped with the license
• Premium Support with a named engineer on non-SAP products
• Renewal quotes and added users handled by the same team
• Advice on which product fits your program

Is it cheaper to buy through a reseller than directly from the vendor?

Not automatically. The software vendor sets list prices and partner discount rules, so the difference between a reseller quote and a direct quote depends on the deal. What changes when you buy through Merito is what comes with the license. You get help sizing the right edition and quantity, a quote that separates license and services lines, and a delivery team that already knows the product.

There is no published Merito price list or discount schedule. Ask for a quote with your quantities, and Merito shows the licensing model, the quantities and any services as separate lines.

Which software can I buy through Merito, and on whose paper?

The table below lists Merito's primary vendors. Each of them also sells direct, and each row lists the products and the ways to buy them. SAP products are sold on SAP paper. Public-sector orders on a contract vehicle are covered further down this page.

Software from the more than 100 vendors on the Merito North America line card is also available through Merito, across analytics, AI, cloud, compute, data, DevOps, edge computing, networking, security, storage and virtualization. Ask about any vendor you need.

How do renewals, co-terming and true-ups work when Merito holds the license?

When you bought a subscription through Merito, Merito quotes the renewal on the same paper, whether that is the vendor's terms or SAP paper. The renewal is the natural point to add or remove users, change edition or, for Tricentis, move between standalone Tosca and SAP Enterprise Continuous Testing, which is a license and support-desk change rather than re-automation.

Whether separate subscriptions can be co-termed to one end date, and how usage above the licensed quantity is trued up, is set by each vendor's contract terms. Merito confirms both with the vendor when it prepares the renewal quote.

• Renewal quotes on the same paper as the original purchase
• Added users and edition changes at renewal
• Co-terming and true-up terms confirmed with the vendor in the quote
• Standalone Tosca and SAP ECT moves handled as a license change

Can I buy through AWS Marketplace or my agency's contract vehicle?

Yes. Many products are available through an AWS Marketplace private offer from Merito, so purchase and billing run through your AWS account. Some vendors also list their own products on AWS Marketplace, such as Sonatype SBOM Manager and the Secure Code Warrior AI Software Governance Platform. Tell Merito the product you need and that you want to buy through AWS Marketplace, and Merito confirms whether a private offer is available for it.

Federal, state and local, and education agencies can order through Merito on GSA MAS contract 47QSWA18D008F, NASA SEWP V and the other vehicles listed on the Merito government page. Merito checks that the products are available on your vehicle and prepares a quote that cites the vehicle and its contract number.

• AWS Marketplace private offers from Merito for products listed on AWS Marketplace
• Vendor-listed AWS Marketplace products, such as Sonatype SBOM Manager
• GSA MAS, NASA SEWP V, ITES-SW2, NASPO ValuePoint and other vehicles
• Anthropic Claude licenses for public-sector buyers through GSA MAS

• Government contract vehicles

How do I consolidate licenses from several testing and AppSec vendors?

Start with an inventory of every tool, its owner, its user or application count and its renewal date. Merito uses that inventory to show where products overlap, which licenses can end at their next renewal and which products need to stay. For application security programs, a MAPS Assessment scores coverage across SAST, SCA, DAST and supply-chain tools before any license decision.

With several vendors in each category on the Merito line card, the recommendation follows fit rather than one vendor, and Merito data migration moves test assets into the tools that remain.

How do I get a quote, and what should I have ready?

Request a quote on the Merito quote page or from any vendor page. Quote requests receive a response within 30 minutes during business hours. A complete request gets an accurate number on the first pass, so have the details below ready. If you are unsure of a quantity, give a range and Merito sizes it with you.

• Product names, or the legacy names you know them by
• Licensing quantities, such as named users, developers or contributors, applications, concurrent executors or virtual users
• SaaS or self-hosted deployment
• Term length and target start date
• Current contract or renewal date if you already own the product
• Your SAP contract position (RISE with SAP or GROW with SAP) for SAP products
• The contract vehicle and contract number for public-sector orders
