Oracle Advisory Services

Oracle licensing is complex and constantly evolving. Understanding the implications of new Oracle developments and changes to licensing terms is an ongoing challenge. Licensing costs increase year-on-year, so you have to monitor your teams' use of functionality and licences to refine your spending and maximise ROI. Besides this complexity, you might be considering a move to the cloud – do you know the benefits and potential pitfalls of such a move? Expert insight is essential to Oracle licensing success.

SoftwareONE Oracle Advisory Services provide insight into cost savings opportunities and help you understand your Oracle contracts' financial, operational, or legal risks. Our specialists prepare you for audits and provide fact-based inputs to your organisation's IT strategy and roadmap.
