Experts in Oracle license optimization & compliance
Most client environments experience license shortages and surpluses. Periodic checkups of your software deployment is necessary, as this allows us to ensure you’re not paying for too many users or Processors, and that your Oracle environment is audit-proof.
Our three-stage process ensures you have installed the right products, in the right volumes, in line with your business requirements. As an independent third party, we have no biases, meaning we’ll never make false assumptions about your contracts.

Oracle license optimization & compliance services
Expert support at every stage, from audit defense through to contract negotiation and license optimization.
Determine entitlement & deployment
Here we gather all evidence of license entitlement, analyzing and delivering your effective entitlement position.
From there, we will identify all available sources of Oracle inventory and deployment information, reconciling the sources, determining what products are deployed on which servers and the hardware specification of those servers.
We’ll conduct a highly granular audit using our audit scripts, allowing us to determine exactly how the Oracle software is deployed and used.
Effective License Position
We will bring together the entitlement reconciliation and deployment analysis to produce your Effective License Position (ELP). This is a point-in-time snapshot of your Oracle software license compliance position and will contain a clear explanation of the applicable license metrics, calculations and potential ambiguities. In addition to the base report will be an outline of any potential optimization opportunities and/or risk remediation activities.
The Oracle ELP is key to your understanding of your environment and can be used as a baseline for your renewals, new deployment projects, migrations or simply to be aware of your compliance position in the event of a formal audit.
Remediation & optimization support
Your organization can often create significant licensing optimizations, helping to mitigate against any licensing exposure.
Using our financial models, you are able to prioritize work that has the highest financial impacts.
Following remedial work, we will again audit the improved environment to make sure it would withstand the scrutiny of an Oracle audit. We can also provide advice on how to improve overall governance on Oracle software deployment.
Oracle on VMware
Helping you to understand the context of your Oracle contract, align your teams internally and helping you to deploy Oracle on VMware in the most effective way.
We’re here to ensure your license footprint is kept to a minimum, and that you’re paying for the fewest licenses possible, preventing Oracle from demanding extra payment.
We’ll deliver comprehensive workshops and education for your IT, Legal and Compliance teams, clarifying any ambiguities, risks and rewards around virtualizing Oracle, making sure that everyone has a good understanding as you migrate Oracle to VMware, and that governance is put in place to ensure license compliance.
