On June 27, at 11 a.m., Ms. Simona Lavagnini will speak at a webinar organized by Microsoft on the enhancement of the software assets of the company, the legal consequences of the sale and use of counterfeit software, and the ways to manage IT contracts and software licences.

Ms. Lavagnini will also give some important advice for identifying unauthentic software and avoiding the risks associated with use of such software.
