Many companies are given the impression that the introduction of cloud products makes the topic of software asset management superfluous. Customers often assume that cloud services supposedly "can no longer be mislicensed". Accordingly, SAM projects are held back or put on hold. This course aims to counteract this and raise awareness of the difficulties and pitfalls of cloud licensing.
In addition to licensing law concerns, the course also covers fundamental issues such as:
- In which scenarios does which cloud make sense?
- Where are the legal risks for companies in their daily use of the cloud format?
- What security gaps do you have to watch out for?
The training makes clear why the perception for one's own use of cloud services in the company can be deceptive under certain circumstances. In this context, it also clarifies that the denial of official company policy towards cloud services does not necessarily protect against their use in the workplace. Participants learn how to measure the actual use of the cloud and thus make potential savings visible. They learn about the comprehensive responsibility of licence management here and why SAM must play a particularly important role in this topic.
The course delves into various topics from our basic Microsoft Licensing Professional training and is suitable as a supplement to it
