Oracle License Management – take place in the driver seat!
Oracle License Management
The aim of every license manager is continuous compliance with minimal costs, coupled with flexibility. This is a challenging goal with regard to Oracle. License managers often find Oracle license conditions confusing and vague. Too many stumbling blocks, such as the ten-day rule, minimum rules or other Oracle license clauses, can very easily lead to under-licensing which can prove very expensive in the case of an Oracle audit (Oracle Audit Review).
Oracle Lizenzmanagement
Furthermore, given the circumstances, it can prove difficult for a company to choose between traditional single contracts or corporate contracts, such as Oracle ULAs (Oracle Unlimited License Agreements), Oracle ELAs (Oracle Enterprise License Agreements) and other types of corporate contracts. There is no sure-fire formula as to which type of contract is best.
When it comes to Oracle License Management, license managers need to consider three questions in particular:
- Where does my company stand in terms of Oracle licensing?
- Are we Oracle-compliant? Here, I need to assess how software is being used in the company.
- Can you save on Oracle support costs while ensuring compliance or even avoid an anticipated new license agreement?
We offer you tailored services to answer these questions. For example, you can achieve your goal of compliance with minimal OPEX and CAPEX. We call this Compliance 2.0.
On this page, you will learn how to:
- Determine the current status of your Oracle licensing
- Ensure efficient Oracle compliance
- Save on Oracle support costs
