Scott & Scott, LLP Presents Microsoft Enterprise Licensing and Cloud Agreements Webinar
Southlake, Texas (PRWEB) June 30, 2015 -- Software licensing options for large enterprises have evolved substantially over the past several years. Businesses today have more options and flexibility to meet their software needs. However, with that flexibility often comes complex software asset management (SAM) obligations. Licensing models that were previously unavailable absent extensive negotiations are now regularly offered. Cloud based offerings are attractive to many customers but carry significant legal and regulatory risks.
“Migration to cloud based offerings is creating a sea change in enterprise software licensing. The market is evolving to make multi-tenant cloud based offerings available to even highly regulated enterprises in financial services and healthcare,” said Scott.
This CLE will discuss traditional and newly developed licensing models, principal concerns about cloud based licensing models, types of license agreements, and primary causes of exposure in enterprise-level software audits.
Attendees will learn:
• Differences between traditional and newly developed licensing models
• How to handle principal concerns with cloud based licensing models
• Types of license agreements
• How to reduce exposure in enterprise-level software audits
• Challenges to SAM caused by new licensing model
There is no charge for the one-hour webinar. Registration is on a first come, first served basis.
