Our Software Licensing Advisory Solution - Comprehensive Audit & Strategy
We don’t just count licenses. Our Software Licensing Advisory conducts a deep analysis of your IT infrastructure and Oracle License and Services Agreements (OLSA) to develop an optimization strategy, turning software spending from an uncontrolled expense into a predictable and efficient tool. As a local UAE company, we understand the specifics of doing business and IT requirements in the region. We analyze:
- Current Installation: What, where, and how your software is actually being used.
- License Position: The compliance of your installations with purchased entitlements.
- Savings Opportunities: Transition to cloud subscriptions (BYOL, OCI), database consolidation, and optimization of Options and Packs.
Why Oracle Licensing is a Challenge for UAE Businesses
Oracle’s licensing policy is one of the most complex in the industry. Without a deep understanding of its nuances, companies in the UAE risk overpaying for unused licenses and facing multi-million dollar fines during an audit, which is exactly where Software Licensing Advisory helps.
The rules for Processor and Named User Plus change from version to version, and their misinterpretation leads to over-licensing.
Oracle requires licensing of physical server cores (Hard Partitioning), which can multiply costs when using VMware or other hypervisors in modern data centers in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
You know how much you pay, but do you know what you are paying for? Without an audit, it is impossible to identify unused products and inefficient contracts.
