„From millions to savings“
From millions of Euros in non-compliance to substantial savings in under four weeks
„From millions to savings“
From millions of Euros in non-compliance to substantial savings in under four weeks:
In 2011, ProLicense was called in by a large German company who was a longstanding Oracle client.
Like many such companies in recent years, they had received a letter from Oracle License Management Services announcing that they were due to be audited within four weeks. Due to several infrastructure changes and disparate responsibilities within the company, management was not 100% sure about their compliance. ProLicense was brought in to have a look at the situation.
ProLicense consultants have vast experience with such cases and began by deploying a structured and efficient audit of the client’s compliance position.
As time was an issue, ProLicense’s experts worked fast and very closely with the client’s team and found that the client was non-compliant in various product areas. The overall gap amounted to several million euros, not to mention back-support.
After deciphering a clear picture of the client’s position, ProLicense quickly identified specific measures to optimize infrastructure to reduce license need. Plus the client was able to enact these measures before the audit date. Due to the intimate knowledge and experience of the ProLicense team, the client significantly reduced the amount of licenses needed.
Result
This ProLicense client is now compliant saving millions and has reduced their maintenance costs by 70%. The client was right to bring in the ProLicense team to deal with the audit situation. Oracle licensing is very complex and very few professionals understand in depth the implications of installations for the licenses needed. With years of Oracle negotiation experience, ProLicense offered the client vast knowledge that was invaluable when closing the deal.
