Robert J. Scott Presents “Litigating Software Audit Disputes” at ITAM Review Annual Conference 2017
Southlake, Texas (PRWEB) September 19, 2017 -- Software audits have become routine as publishers have proven that compliance claims get customers’ attention more than sales proposals. Most software license disputes are settled out of court, but what happens when you cannot negotiate a settlement with the publisher or one of its trade associations (BSA | The Software Alliance, The Software & Information Industry Association) because the settlement demands are too high?
