Support Contract Review
After the difficulties of the recent global events, many businesses continue to face pressures to reduce ongoing costs. Oracle Annual Support and Maintenance fees do not go away. In fact, they continue to rise. Some would say, unfairly. In many cases we have seen percentage increases even above inflation rates.
We therefore believe that now is the time, to analyse the exact nature and scope of your exposure with Oracle to help you understand whether you are overpaying for annual ongoing support.
Historically, we suspect, you like many of our Oracle customers question whether you get value for money for your annual payments. You may indeed be overpaying, possibly due to legacy purchase agreements, previous migrations on unfavourable terms and products that you no longer use or require. We find that Oracle's ongoing support charges are often a major source of concern and complaint on the part of customers.
The Oracle Support policy is strict, and it is difficult to navigate a path to realise a saving. Nonetheless, it is possible for some.
It all depends on what you have, how you purchased in the past and what you want to use going forward.
You may have partly or fully transitioned to alternative Cloud environments but continue to pay Support fees on software that you may or may not be using within your own premises. It can be so confusing.
After spending over 20 years reviewing, analysing, deconstructing and reconstructing Oracle license agreements, we bring a huge amount of experience and knowledge to finding support and maintenance savings.
A reasonably quick assessment of your existing support contracts will provide a high-level view of opportunities to reduce costs. We are currently offering this assessment service to you, free of charge.
If we believe an opportunity to save money for you does exist, then we can discuss options on how to realise these savings.
The engagement would consist of both parties agreeing to a simple mutual NDA. We would analyse your latest Oracle Support quotations and produce a report showing potential savings opportunities.
Please get in touch and let's see if I can help you save costs on an annual basis.
