SPLA – Flexible Licensing for Your Customers
Microsoft partners providing services under SPLA (Services Provider License Agreement) have the flexibility to offer Microsoft products on terms that adapt to their customers’ needs. This model allows partners to provide subscription licenses that grow or shrink depending on client demand. SPLA is a competitive advantage, enabling cloud services to be offered in a simple way.
SPLA is a licensing agreement that allows service providers to offer Microsoft products on a monthly usage-based billing model. This means partners pay only for what their clients actually consume, not for perpetual licenses.
What Is SPLA?
Imagine paying only for what you actually use, while your clients enjoy access to the latest Microsoft technologies without worrying about excess costs. The SPLA model gives you that freedom. It’s like a flexible subscription that adjusts to your clients’ needs, allowing you to grow alongside them—without unnecessary commitments.
