Oracle managed services provider

Reduce cost and risk while continually improving and protecting your Oracle estate

Many enterprises rely on Oracle applications and database technology to support their critical business systems, driving organisational success. With the increasing threat of cyberattacks, the robust security measures provided by managed services are invaluable. Regular health checks and updates not only improve performance but also extend the lifespan of applications, allowing businesses to focus on their core activities without worrying about IT infrastructure.

However, for many businesses, finding, training, and retaining the right Oracle application and database skills is time-consuming and expensive.

Oracle application and technology license optimisation

Oracle applications and underlying technology products have their own licensing considerations; product selection and included rights cause significant confusion with disparate and evolving metrics. Risks and cost saving opportunities can be significant and are best managed regularly rather than as a result of an audit.

Diagnosis

Our Diagnosis service will help determine potential areas of risk or optimisation in your estate and assist with prioritising reviews of license and cloud spending.
Discovery

A review of your entitlement and usage is imperative to knowing your position, risks and potential cost optimisation. Discovery will find the necessary data to enable informed decisions to be made.
Baseline

Once entitlement and usage have been discovered, creation of a current baseline of your compliance and utilisation of license as well as considering future changes to the estate will allow modelling of your position and future impact.
Optimisation

One or more Baselines will result in Optimisation activities which we will document and present to you for consideration as well as providing guidance on timing and approach to undertake the necessary actions and reach your goals.

Our healthcare client was proactive in their license management approach and wanted us to validate their Oracle E-Business Suite license position. We were able to give our client clarity on license entitlement, detailing restrictions and products included and prepared them for any approach for a software vendor audit.
