SPLA Reporting Services (SRS):

We have found that successful service providers use reporting as a BI process to know what was installed and how solutions should be billed to clients.  Do not report usage just because of compliance obligation by Microsoft. Know what you are reporting, what is installed, what users have complete access to and ways to reduce your client’s costs to stay competitive.

License Optimization Assessment

There’s a difference in how technology can be deployed versus how it must be licensed.  

License Optimization Assessment helps service providers identify ways to leverage existing licenses to the public cloud and/or how clients can move workloads to your private cloud environments.  If your organization is considering moving workloads to AWS, Azure or the like, this assessment will help ensure you are not only licensing correctly, but in the most cost-effective way possible.  Our approach includes:

1. Review business goals, needs, and current state
2. Perform risk analysis and optimization
3. Leverage results to assess strategies moving forward including direction of SPLA and CSP.
4. Create licensing collateral and training for your sellers to educate clients on what they can and cannot do from a licensing perspective.  This education will help ensure they price solutions that is aligned with product use rights.
5. Educate on all incentives and pricing available
