How to SPLA – Management and Audits [Masterclass]

Описание: Are you a Services Provider? Do you have a Services Provider License Agreement (SPLA) with Microsoft? Let's talk about common pitfalls and ways to avoid them.

Why should you care? $500,000,000 reasons. This is about how much we have protected in total in several SPLA Audit Defence exercises.

But how and why did those providers get into such a situation in the first place? This, and how not to repeat their mistakes, is what we're talking about.

Presented by Alexander Golev and Daryl Ullman, partners in SAMexpert.
