Oracle Contract Negotiation Services — Save 28–42% on Oracle Spend

✓ NO SAVE, NO PAY — 25% gainshare only

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.

What Oracle Doesn't Tell You at Renewal

The ULA Trap

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.

LMS Audit Pressure

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.

Processor vs NUP Metrics

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 Monetization

Java SE licensing (Employee Metric vs Named User) changed in 2020. Many organisations are overexposed. We identify true Java SE exposure and renegotiate terms.

Support Reward Abuse

Oracle's Support Reward programme disguises price increases as "credits". We review your Support Reward history and eliminate inflated renewals.

OCI Migration Pressure

Oracle pressures EA renewals by bundling Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) credits. We negotiate OCI terms separately and value correctly for your workload.
