Oracle Support Savings
Our knowledge on Oracle contract management and Oracle support renewal can help your organization to make vast savings.
Optimize your Red Hat environment
Oracle’s support fees are designed to increase year on year, but that does not mean you have to accept them.
What they do not tell you is that cost reductions are possible with the right expertise. At ITAA, we specialise in helping organisations optimise their Oracle support spending. Even better, we work on a results-driven basis, so you only pay if we deliver savings.
Oracle support is a key revenue stream for the company, and its pricing structures are designed to protect that income. Contractual clauses, such as “License Set” and “Matching Service Levels,” are structured in a way that often makes cost reduction seem impossible.
As a result, many businesses feel trapped, forced to either accept escalating costs or risk losing critical support and exposing themselves to audits. That is where independent advisors, like ITAA, provide a crucial advantage.
Average savings we secure
On average we can secure savings ranging from 15% to 50%. The main differentiating factors are your unique usage and the scale of your licenses.
We operate on a “no saving, no fee” model, so you only pay if we successfully reduce your costs.
Key Services
Three focused approaches to reducing your Oracle support spend, each targeting a different source of unnecessary cost.
Oracle Support Renewal
Taking time to thoroughly review your Oracle support renewal and evaluate how well it meets the needs of your organization can lead to significant savings. Many organizations find the renewal process is automatic, which removes the trigger to sense-check whether what they’re paying is still appropriate.
There are three key areas we review in relation to your Oracle support renewal: benchmarking your support fees against industry standards, identifying licenses in your estate that may no longer be needed, and reviewing the hardware configuration and virtualization setup to ensure license counts are optimal.
Unused & Shelved Licenses
Many organisations find themselves paying support on unused or ‘shelved’ licenses, which can feel like an unfair and unnecessary expense.
With decades of experience in Oracle contract management, our team helps organizations identify shelved licenses and navigate the contractual complexities (including Oracle’s “License Set” and “Matching Service Levels” clauses) to reduce or eliminate support fees on licenses that are no longer in use.
Post-Audit Support Negotiation
This service is the perfect follow-up to an audit. After having been audited, our contract negotiation support streamlines the process, leveraging groundwork already laid to swiftly prepare your optimization strategy.
We ensure that any settlement only covers what is genuinely owed, and that the resulting support fees are structured as favourably as possible for your organization going forward.

ITAA does not sell licenses or profit from their sales but maintains complete independence from Oracle and its partners. In this way we ensure your interests come first.
Every decision we make is geared towards maximizing the value of your IT assets and shielding you from contractual risks.
