VMware, Microsoft, SQL Server and Oracle renewals are all climbing, up to 3–10x, all driven by the same shift to per-core, subscription-only pricing
In 45
minutes: how
to price any renewal against a
right-sized AWS estate, on your real
usage, not the vendor's
quote
Most estates run 30-50% over-provisioned. That gap pays for the move.
VMware: per-core pricing, 72-core minimum, no path back to perpetual, a permanent step-up.
Microsoft & others: M365 renewals up 12–33%, EA volume discounts cut, perpetual licenses phased out industry-wide.
Hardware & supply chain: refresh costs and lead times stacking on top of software.
The blind spot: renewals still get priced on the vendor quote, not actual usage.
A complimentary AWS Optimization & Licensing Assessment (OLA) turns your usage and entitlements into an apples-to-apples number
What You'll Learn?
Enough to know what you're actually deciding on.
● Where over-provisioning hides, and how it's measured from real usage.
● Your renewal vs a right-sized AWS estate (on-demand, 1- and 3-year).
● Amazon EVS as a low-refactor lift-and-shift bridge, and where it fits.
● What gets a migration approved at CFO level, and funded via AWS MAP.
Who It's For?
The people who own the decision, and the people who pay for it.
CIOs, CTOs, Heads of Infrastructure facing a major renewal this year or next.
Architects mapping the estate, and finance/procurement who need a defensible number.

Not for you if you want a product demo, there isn't one.
This on-demand webinar is a valuable investment for FSI professionals seeking to confidently leverage the cloud while maintaining regulatory compliance and optimizing costs.
Q) A sales pitch?
A) No demo. One clearly marked, ~90-second offer at the end.
Q) Only VMware?
A) No, OLA covers Microsoft, SQL Server, Oracle and general on-prem to cloud. VMware is just the sharpest trigger right now.
Q) Is the OLA free?
A) Yes, and low-friction, requesting one doesn't commit you to a migration.
Q) Can the migration be funded?
A) Often, AWS MAP can offset assessment and migration cost for qualifying workloads.
Q) Recording if I can't attend?
A) Yes, sent to every registrant.
