Are you a Services Provider? Do you have a Services Provider License Agreement (SPLA) with Microsoft? Let's talk about common pitfalls and ways to avoid them.
Why should you care? $500,000,000 reasons. This is about how much we have protected in total in several SPLA Audit Defence exercises.
But how and why did those providers get into such a situation in the first place? This, and how not to repeat their mistakes, is what we're talking about.
