Oracle Licence Review Service
As your business evolves so too will your Oracle licence requirements, this can create complexity as employees try to stay on top of Oracle software usage rights. At Smart Licence our Oracle licence review service is designed to reduce this complexity and provide you with an accurate view of your Oracle licence position. Our expert knowledge of Oracle licensing, support policies and pricing models allows our customers mitigate the risk of non compliance and to reduce total cost of ownership by ensuring they only licence Oracle software and purchase support relative to their actual licence position.
Oracle Licence Review Deliverables
Inventory analysis – complete scan of your Oracle install base and analysis of key Oracle licensing metrics designed to provide you with an accurate report of what applications are deployed, where and how often they are used.
Oracle Licence Analysis – here we compile details relating to all Oracle applications acquired by your enterprise, enabling us to build a database of actual software entitlements. As a part of this process we also document all proof of licence to ensure you have the correct licences in place.
Oracle Actual Licence Position Report Development – this is the key deliverable from the review where we map licence entitlements to licences installed and report back on any under / over licensing or breaches of program rules.
Oracle Licence Procurement Consultancy – at Smart Licence we don't resell licences; however as a part of our Oracle licence review services we provide strategic direction on how best to optimise present and future Oracle licence agreements, allowing you to leverage cost savings associated with software licensing and support costs.
Benefits of an Oracle Licence Review
- Prevent waste and redundancy as a consequence of over licensing and identify where software assets are no longer required for re-distribution.
- Limit legal liability associated with software non compliance created as a consequence of breaching licensing program rules or deploying licenses which have not been paid for.
- Avoid the disruption and potential penalties associated with an Oracle led compulsory audit.
- Eliminate the need to develop in-house Oracle licensing expertise leaving your IT staff to focus on the delivery of IT services back to the business.
- Cost savings can be achieved via improved negotiation and more effective procurement practices made possible as your enterprise will have an accurate view of Oracle licence requirements. This can allow you maximise discounts from bulk time phased orders purchased via the most effective licensing agreement for your enterprise.
