Episode notes

When a Fortune 500 manufacturer faced a surprise Microsoft audit, they discovered nearly $2 million in unlicensed software. This episode explores how procurement teams are restructuring software asset management to avoid similar penalties. Lucas and Luna break down the audit process - how vendors like Microsoft, Oracle, and SAP conduct audits, what triggers them, and the specific clauses companies now negotiate to limit exposure, including audit frequency caps and look-back windows. They also discuss the role of software asset management tools and pre-audit self-assessments. A must-listen for anyone involved in enterprise software procurement or compliance. #VendorAudit #SoftwareAudit #MicrosoftAudit #OracleAudit #SAPAudit #SoftwareAssetManagement #Procurement #Fortune500 #EnterpriseTech #ContractNegotiation #Compliance #LicenseManagement #TrueUp #BusinessTechnology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TechPodcast #EnterpriseSoftware Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
