• READ: EOH no longer a reseller of Microsoft software licences

Last week EOH announced it is no longer a reseller of Microsoft software licences, after Microsoft issued it with a notice to terminate an existing contract. It did not provide EOH with reasons for the decision.

Microsoft is conducting its own probe into EOH contracts involving Microsoft and government.

Microsoft has advised it cannot enter into discussions with EOH about reinstating partnerships until investigations are concluded.

Microsoft's investigations are expected to take between six and 12 months to conclude, EOH previously said.
