Oracle License Audits Explained
65% of our enterprise customers have received at least one vendor audit letter in the past 12 months.
Help is at Hand.
Enterprise application vendors do not design their license policy to be easily understood. Software users are often unaware of vendor rules according to contractual obligations. Vendors can conduct a license audit and non-compliance can result in unexpected costs and stress for customers.
If you have received an Oracle License Audit letter, or if you would like to learn more about taking control, quantifying risk, and identifying and optimising opportunities – our experts are here to help you.
