The Microsoft Service Provider
License Agreement (SPLA)
This current economic climate is affecting all sectors to a greater or lesser degree.
One thing that is consistent is that organisations must be even more focused on what they spend and ensure that any investment truly delivers a return and is indeed necessary in the first place. Through engaging with Bytes we can help avoid unnecessary expenditure and also look at more efficient licensing terms to further reduce costs.
