Microsoft Cloud Licensing Training

It’s complex, constantly changing, and easy to get wrong – especially when you’re migrating your workloads into cloud environments such as Microsoft Azure, Amazon AWS, and Google GCP.

• Microsoft’s licensing rules evolve constantly - keeping up feels impossible.
• Applying those rules to your cloud environments is confusing, leaving teams uncertain.
• Emerging tech like AI, cloud computing, and automation add another layer of complexity.

Getting Microsoft licensing wrong isn’t just frustrating—it’s expensive.

The Cost of Licensing Mistakes in the cloud

Without current and comprehensive knowledge of Microsoft licensing in cloud and hybrid environments, businesses risk:

• Overspending on unnecessary licenses—wasting thousands (or even millions)
• Delays in Digital Transformation projects due to licensing roadblocks
• Potential audit penalties that disrupt budgets and operations.

Microsoft licensing shouldn’t be a guessing game.

Equip your team with expert-led training to:

• Stay ahead of Microsoft’s latest licensing updates
• Reduce compliance risks and avoid costly audits
• Optimise software spend and maximise your IT budget
• Strengthen your negotiation position
• Support seamless adoption of AI, cloud, and digital innovation.
