Licence law for Microsoft software is extremely complex. In modern software asset management, however, compliance with licensing regulations should always be carried out in consideration of the optimum licensing economy.
This training aims precisely at this area of conflict between "compliance" and "economic efficiency" by, on the one hand, clearly breaking down the complexity of Microsoft licensing and, on the other hand, critically analysing the most important volume licences from an economic point of view and demonstrating enormous cost-saving potential.
In this two-day training course, you will not only learn about and apply the licence economics of the various server licence models - with potential savings of up to 80% - but also find out more about the economics of Software Assurance, how you can efficiently control and manage your true-up costs and discuss the limits of costly SAM tools when it comes to saving Microsoft licences.
In addition to on premises data centre licensing, this training also addresses the topic of "Cloud Economics" in detail - from "Bring-Your-Own-License" licensing models to the hybrid advantage and AzureArc.
Of course, there will also be a detailed analysis of Microsoft 365 and Microsoft 365 Copilot, so that at the end of the two days you will have approaches with which you can evaluate the much-cited increase in productivity of these two online services.
In addition to theoretical approaches, you will also be introduced to concretely applicable models and practical examples of how you can significantly improve your company's own licensing situation and save a lot of money. You will receive a comprehensive commercial overview of the individual components of an enterprise agreement and how you can manage these dynamically and in a cost-optimised manner.
In addition, common myths about licences are debunked, which in the worst case can cost a company unnecessary money. But with the right knowledge about licences, you can make an important contribution to reducing licence costs.
After completing this training course, you will not only be a Microsoft licensing professional, but also a Microsoft "licence economist" who can be sure that you have calculated your licence costs in the best possible way.
