Turn upcoming virtualization licensing changes into a growth opportunity
Take advantage of the recent changes in virtualization licensing by speeding up your transition from the Service Provider License Agreement (SPLA) model to the Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) approach. Although the full impact of these changes won’t be felt until 2027, starting your planning now provides you with ample time to identify the best transition strategy. By doing so, you can safeguard your customer relationships and develop stronger, more durable business connections. Eliminating outdated cost barriers allows you to stimulate growth across Azure’s native, hybrid, and AI-ready solutions. The Microsoft Datacenter Optimization (DCO) initiative helps you evolve beyond legacy SPLA operations, enabling you to protect your margins, modernise customer environments, and discover new revenue streams.
