Oracle license Agreement Optimisation
A large proportion of Oracle software running in any organisation will have been procured over many years. It is possible that each purchase is associated with a different license agreement. Organisations end up with various licenses, some with conflicting terms. Some products may no longer exist. Software may have been procured from a vendor that has been acquired by Oracle, but the legacy agreements still apply. Vintage software and complex agreements are mostly expensive to run, a headache to manage, and often lead to punitive compliance issues.
Rationalising and re-organising your Oracle software allows you to manage your assets more effectively. It also stops you wasting money on redundant licenses or paying unnecessary fees for support and maintenance.
There are many Oracle license migration options that genuinely make good sense for many organisations. However, a migration exercise is complex and time consuming for Oracle, and typically Oracle avoids such an undertaking unless there is a "meaty" license sale at the end of the process.
I have over 20 years of experience of analysing and negotiating the finer details of Oracle contracts and business practices. I bring a huge amount of expertise and knowledge to any rationalisation exercise. My services range from an advisory engagement through to the design and execution of a complete license overhaul and renegotiation. The TCO benefits achieved are often significant.
