Oracle License Optimisation

Take Control of your Oracle License Estate

Take Control of your Oracle License Estate

Oracle may be an essential component of your IT infrastructure, however their license policies are not easily understood. As a result of this customers often find themselves paying for Oracle products that they do not require and overpaying for the ones that they do. Software users are often unaware of vendor rules according to contractual obligations or additional policies. Oracle may conduct an unexpected license audit and non-compliance can result in unanticipated costs and stress for the customer.

Version 1 Oracle License Optimisation & Management can provide the full lifecycle of software licensing consultancy services, ensuring our client’s enterprise application license estates are fully optimised and under control with regards to cost, license compliance and complexity.

Achieving cost reduction and control over your software estate is complex.

Adopting the correct approach and license management methodology will help you realise value for money and reduce the risk of non-compliance. We answered our customers’ FAQs about Oracle Software Asset Management, including:

  • Are our current Oracle license terms fit for purpose?
  • How can we reduce the effort required to determine usage across our large Oracle estate?
  • Are there any opportunities to save cost within our Oracle license estate?
  • Are we under or over licensed for Oracle?
