Minimize Oracle License Costs

Oracle License Management

Get Started

Oracle License Management and Assessment Solutions

When migrating database and applications to the cloud, the primary challenge is how to successfully manage licenses within the public cloud of choice. And as technology deployment choices continue to increase, the complexity and risks associated with software licenses will also increase, making full compliance more difficult to maintain.

It’s important to have a clear understanding of your current Oracle licensed software assets to establish an accurate footprint. It’s equally as important to have a plan for converting those assets according to their useful life for an optimal return on investment (ROI). Getting this right ensures a smooth transition to cloud services, while maximizing your existing software investment.

What Drives oracle Cost, and How To Bring It Down

Oracle licensing costs are influenced by the products in use, the size of the environment, the number of users accessing the system, and any additional features or options enabled.

As organizations grow, modernize, add new capabilities, retire legacy solutions, or integrate acquired businesses, licensing requirements can change significantly. What made sense for your environment five years ago may not align with how Oracle is being used today.

Understanding your current footprint, contractual entitlements, and how Oracle licensing policies apply to your environment is the first step toward managing costs effectively and reducing compliance risks.

"We're Empowered for the Future"

When Oceaneering needed to migrate its ERP system, a TCO Transformation Assessment reviewed its existing Oracle licensing to determine the best approach and prepare the company for what’s next.

Identify License Optimization Opportunities

with our verified Software Asset Management experts

Oracle’s software and solutions are complex, and managing their licenses is no different. It’s common to lose control of licensing as the business needs change, your footprint grows, and staff depart.

As a global partner in Oracle’s Verified Software Asset Management program, our in-house experts are trusted by Oracle to help clients regain control of their Oracle licenses and maximize Oracle investments. We’ve helped clients manage over $2B USD in software and hardware assets over the past 19 years.

Our team can provide a full Effective License Position to determine entitlement versus usage of Oracle programs and applications, then help bring you into, and maintain, license compliance across all products. Whether a one-time, confidential review or an ongoing License Management as a Service engagement, Data Intensity can help ensure compliance, align licenses with current business needs and future roadmaps, and maximize ROI on your Oracle investments.

Finding where you can save is the start. As your estate changes, entitlements drift and usage moves, so a license position set once won’t stay accurate on its own. With License Management as a Service, Data Intensity’s experts keep reviewing and reallocating your licenses and assets to maximize entitlements, reduce spend, help keep you compliant and lower audit risk. It’s the ongoing engagement that follows a one-time license review, audit support or optimization project.
