Oracle Licensing

Oracle Licensing can be a compliance minefield, and the complexity of licensing across today’s shared network architectures is not getting any easier. If anything, it is getting more complex every day. How does one keep track of all these assets, and cope with all the rules and restrictions that come bundled with them?

As a Procurement Manager, IT Director or functional user, you want to reduce your Oracle licensing capex and opex costs, maximize return on this investment and ensure you are getting the optimal return on you investment. Considering Oracle’s string of acquisitions and constant changes to their Software Licensing, how do you keep abreast of these changes and ensure that you can build on the potential benefits for your organization?

Have you ever thought about the following when it comes to license compliance?

Do my older license metrics work in my modern environment? Can I migrate them to something modern?
Will new multi-core hardware have an affect on my licensing?
How does partitioning, hyperthreading or virtual servers affect my licensing options?
Will I be affected by new technologies like Multi-Chip Modules?
Do I have an effective license strategy for my Production, Test, Development, UAT and Data Recovery architectures?
Am I licensed correctly for batching and non-human devices?
How can I consolidate and use my licenses more effectively?
What about a Software Asset Management process, do I have one?
What are multiplexing and front-end usage concepts?
Does my current license model have flexibility and scope for future growth?

Our primary objective is to help you! Let us review your License and Support portfolio, map that to your business drivers and provide you with options to assist you in maximizing your investment. We can help you make sure you are licensed appropriately for all of the Oracle products and in the process help you minimize any related costs. Red Rock has performed many reviews for other companies that have led to significant cost savings and better risk management. We have an experienced team of Oracle Licensing specialists with extensive knowledge on Oracle Licensing that will assist you in navigating through all the complexities involved.

Red Rock's Strategic License Services strongly advocates the approach that Licensing should be simple to manage by design. This will position you to be informed and have control of their Software assets in the first place. In time, the cost of managing a complex, disparate environment through DBA time, Contract negotiations, License Administration time etc., far outweighs the effort to plan and structure your environment effectively as a first principle. This allows the benefits associated with design rather than maintenance to become evident.
