The world of Managed Services Providers is rapidly changing. Your customers want public cloud attached to their classic IT Infrastructures which you manage.
The cloud has different licensing models compared to licenses for Service Providers. Even the classic SPLA licenses are changing. And then Microsoft introduced the Flexible Virtualization Benefit for Authorized Outsourcers in October 2022. Opportunities, but limitations at the same time. When you want to stay up-to-date, this training is your best option to do so.
After this full three-day licensing training you will be ready to consult your customers and coworkers on licenses for online services, the CSP program, product licensing for SPLA and the SPLA program. You will know the different licensing programs and licensing models.
You will know how you as a Managed Services Provider will be able to help your customers innovate with hybrid and cloud scenario’s. Besides you will be able to assist with general customer concerns. And above all, you will be able to supply a correct SPLA report to Microsoft, report correct to Microsoft for the CSP-Hoster program and to prevent general incompliance issues.
Are you only a Microsoft CSP Partner or only a Microsoft SPLA Partner? We do have a specific training for CSP (2-day) and SPLA (1-day). Please contact us for info..
