Oracle Negotiations

Oracle negotiations are at the heart of our work and are our passion. There is always something we can negotiate with Oracle, not just prices. For example, we also very effectively negotiate the time or process of Oracle audits (Oracle License Reviews), the process of Oracle ULA certifications, Oracle support, the transfer of licenses, use of used software and also every individual contract condition or clause in Oracle license agreements or order documents, where relevant for our clients. We believe that everything is up for negotiation, to a certain extent.

This page provides information about:

  • Strategies and approaches for an Oracle negotiation
  • Ways out of dispute situations with Oracle
  • Things to do following an Oracle negotiation
  • Oracle’s thinking in pricing negotiations
  • And much more

Get in touch with us and we will discuss your experiences in Oracle negotiations.

Oracle Conflict Coach

Oracle negotiations can sometimes go in the wrong direction. This may happen in the case of purchase processes, although real conflicts more frequently arise during Oracle audits (Oracle License Reviews) or Oracle ULA certifications, which are essentially audits. Nobody benefits from an impasse – neither Oracle nor the customer. When a situation escalates, the negotiating partner is often regarded as an adversary, and the real objective of the negotiation process is lost from sight.

Oracle Conflict Coach

Oracle negotiations can sometimes go in the wrong direction. This may happen in the case of purchase processes, although real conflicts more frequently arise during Oracle audits (Oracle License Reviews) or Oracle ULA certifications, which are essentially audits. Nobody benefits from an impasse – neither Oracle nor the customer. When a situation escalates, the negotiating partner is often regarded as an adversary, and the real objective of the negotiation process is lost from sight.

Emotions then cause further problems. For the customer, it is particularly important to get the discussions moving again on the one hand, and to get back to the heart of the matter on the other hand. It is ultimately about contracts, clauses and terms. This is exactly what we do in such cases. High conflict costs can be avoided through professional and preventive conflict management.

If you are involved in a dispute with Oracle, an Oracle Conflict Coach will successfully resolve this situation for you.

This service includes:

  • Analysis of negotiating situation
