Oracle licencing models are complicated so understanding them, in order to analyse and optimize your spend with this vendor, is both challenging and time consuming. This is further impacted by the underlying risk of audits which, should you not have an accurate view of your Oracle estate, can result in a substantial financial outlay.
Emerging technologies from vendors that affect licencing models are continuous and Oracle is no exception, these changes will impact finance and operations within your business. Having a clear view of these changes, developing robust processes and knowing how to respond will ensure that your business stays resilient throughout the lifecycle of your contracts and beyond.
