New SPLA Cloud Portability GLR Module
There's a new module in Get Licensing Ready! It's a fifth module in the SPLA track entitled "Cloud Portability". What's that? Well, it's interesting actually - it's all the different ways that you can start with an on-premises licensing position and get to the cloud. Why not take the exam and see if you make the Cloud Portability grade? As usual, there's a video to watch and a handout to download. Do take a look - we're interested in your feedback: email GLRSupport@microsoft.com with your thoughts.
