Oracle's EA renewal process is designed to maximize Oracle's revenue, not your value. The standard first offer contains 15–20% more than you need, priced 30–40% above market. We change that — on a 25% gainshare basis. No savings = no fee.
Oracle bundles ULAs (Unlimited License Agreements) with EAs, locking you into perpetual commitments. We help you exit or restructure ULAs before renewal, freeing capacity and cutting year-on-year costs.
Oracle uses License Management Services (LMS) audits as negotiation leverage. We've reduced multimillion-dollar audit claims to nothing by exposing Oracle's audit methodology flaws and licensing assumptions.
Oracle shifts you between processor licensing and Named User Plus (NUP) metrics to inflate your bill. We audit your actual usage and push back on unfavourable conversions.
Java SE licensing (Employee Metric vs Named User) changed in 2020. Many organisations are overexposed. We identify true Java SE exposure and renegotiate terms.
Oracle's Support Reward programme disguises price increases as "credits". We review your Support Reward history and eliminate inflated renewals.
Oracle pressures EA renewals by bundling Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) credits. We negotiate OCI terms separately and value correctly for your workload.
Expert advising on Enterprise Agreement structure, term length, processor allocation, and price benchmarking. We challenge Oracle's baseline and identify hidden costs.
Strategic review of Unlimited License Agreements and Perpetual Use License Agreements. We map exit triggers, consolidation opportunities, and perpetual-to-subscription conversions.
Forensic analysis of Java SE Employee Metric exposure. We challenge Oracle's entitlement assumptions and renegotiate overexposed contracts.
Comprehensive audit response and settlement negotiation. We've reduced multi-million-dollar audit claims to zero through rigorous methodology challenge.
Separate negotiation of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) terms. We value OCI credits correctly, ensure true BYOL, and avoid Oracle-imposed pricing.
Forensic review of Support Reward programmes and support contract terms. We eliminate inflated renewals and challenge bundled support upgrades.
