Oracle database managed services provider
Oracle databases were designed for enterprise grid computing, the most flexible and cost effective way to manage information and applications. They are commonly found underpinning critical business applications and are the foundation of business operations.
However, databases need constant monitoring, patching, optimising, updating, protecting and upgrading to stay available and keep your business running.
Your DBA administrators are therefore key to the successful performance of your database environment, however, finding, training and retaining this resource is very often an ongoing challenge for most businesses.

Oracle technology license optimisation
Oracle technology products have often complex licensing considerations; product selection and included rights cause significant confusion with disparate and evolving metrics which can vary by platform and environment. Risks and cost saving opportunities can be significant and are best managed regularly rather than waiting for an audit.
-
Diagnosis
Our Diagnosis service will help determine potential areas of risk or optimisation in your estate and assist with prioritising reviews of license and cloud spending.
-
Discovery
A review of your entitlement and usage is imperative to knowing your position, risks and potential cost optimisation. Discovery will find the necessary data in order to enable informed decisions to be made.
-
Baseline
Once entitlement and usage have been discovered, creation of a current baseline of your compliance and utilisation of license as well as considering future changes to the estate will allow modelling of your position and future impact.
-
Optimisation
One or more Baselines will result in Optimisation activities which we will document and present to you for consideration as well as providing guidance on timing and approach to undertake the necessary actions and reach your goals.
Our financial services client wanted to understand their potential exposure to Oracle license non-compliance covering their entire Oracle product portfolio, including their Oracle database and Oracle banking applications. As a result of our Oracle license optimisation services, the client was able to remove the need to procure £52m list of additional software and has clarity on their license entitlement across the business.
