When we help

Three moments we step in

Scenario 01

Multi country audit

Oracle, SAP, IBM, or Microsoft has opened a coordinated review across two or more APAC entities. The claim crosses borders and the response window is open.

Scenario 02

Regional EA renewal

An APAC wide enterprise agreement is up for renewal. You want a regional price book, consolidated commit, and currency aware terms before signing.

Scenario 03

Cross border M&A licensing

A regional acquisition, carve out, or restructure is in motion. Licenses must transfer cleanly across jurisdictions without triggering audit posture.

How we help

Four phase engagement procedure

Phase 01

Scope and baseline

Country by country entity scope, regulator posture, and an independent independent baseline across the APAC estate. No data crosses to the publisher.

Phase 02

Deployment review

Publisher measurement reviewed against the baseline. Metric contestation drafted per jurisdiction. Local language audit response file assembled.

Phase 03

Negotiation

Regional negotiation sequenced across the audit window and renewal cycle. Multi year price book locked in regional currency.

Phase 04

Close and side letter

Side letter signed. Audit findings sealed off from the renewal. Regional governance handed over to the procurement function.

Deliverables

What you get at close

Multi entity audit response

Legal containment per jurisdiction, written communications protocol, and the parallel independent baseline across APAC entities.

Regional deployment baseline

Independent measurement across the APAC estate from employee records, asset registers, and runtime telemetry.

Regional price book reset

Multi year regional pricing reset, currency aware terms, and a price book locked against country level scope creep.

Cross border transfer plan

License migration plan across jurisdictions for M&A, carve out, or restructure without triggering audit posture.

Side letter at close

Signed instrument preventing audit findings from following into the renewal or any successor regional agreement.

Executive briefing deck

CFO and regional audit committee summary of claim posture, savings, residual risk, and recommended forward position.
