Navigating Complexity: Ensuring Proper Microsoft Licensing in Hybrid Cloud Environments

Properly licensing your Microsoft environment is difficult enough but when you have a hybrid cloud environment it adds several levels of complexity. Most enterprise organizations today run both cloud and and on premise environments. Microsoft’s licensing rules can make it challenging to understand if you are licensed correctly and can increase your risk of non-compliance or over licensing. This is a recording of a live webinar which was presented on April 27, 2016 which covers licensing in the Hybrid Cloud.

Mike Austin, Vice President of Service Delivery at MetrixData360 will share his knowledge and insights from over 15 years of Microsoft licensing including over 8 years of employment by Microsoft in a variety of licensing related roles.
