Master Licensing Agreement (MLA), is a customised Microsoft licensing programme for the Malaysian Government entities to acquire Microsoft products. Endorsed by the Malaysian Government, the MLA was initiated to help the Government improve license management, streamline administration and budget for software procurement. MLA promotes a more open and transparent procurement process and adoption as well as usage of the latest technologies in the public service delivery system. In addition to enhancing IT usage and skills among civil servants, the programme also aims to contribute to the development of the local IT business, especially for Bumiputra technopreneurs and Independent Software Vendors (ISVs).
