A Microsoft Corporation Case Study
The customer, Solitron Kft., a small IT services provider in Hungary, faced the challenge of proving its own software licensing compliance during a third-party Software Asset Management (SAM) audit initiated by its vendor, Microsoft Corporation. As a Microsoft SPLA provider, Solitron needed to accurately report its customer software usage to maintain credibility and avoid legal and financial risks.
Microsoft's SPLA program provided the framework for the solution. Solitron utilized its existing, strict monitoring system and monthly reporting scripts to successfully verify its compliance with Microsoft's licensing terms. The audit confirmed that everything was in perfect order, proving that even a small business can properly provide hosting services. The Microsoft solution also had the unexpected benefit of revealing the company was compliant with ISO standards it wasn't even aware of.
