The customer profile

CSAA Insurance is a US insurance group with operations across multiple US states and approximately three thousand five hundred employees. The customer's Oracle Java estate spans the customer's broader insurance technology framework, with material Oracle Java deployment across desktop, server, and developer environments.

The customer received an Oracle Java audit framework letter from Oracle, with the publisher anchoring the Oracle Java audit framework against the customer's actual Oracle Java deployment framework. The publisher's opening Oracle Java audit framework claim totalled approximately one point five million dollars across the contracted Oracle Java audit framework.

The opening publisher quote

Oracle's opening Oracle Java audit framework anchored the broader Oracle Java framework at the publisher's preferred broad Oracle Java audit framework trajectory. The opening Oracle Java audit framework claim totalled approximately one point five million dollars across the contracted Oracle Java audit framework, anchored against the customer's broader Oracle Java SE Universal Subscription framework.

The opening Oracle Java audit framework claim included substantial Oracle Java audit framework escalation against the broader Oracle Java framework. The publisher anchored the Oracle Java audit framework against the customer's broader employee count framework, with material commercial sensitivity to the employee count framework across the broader Oracle Java SE Universal Subscription framework.

The Redress approach

Redress anchored the Oracle Java audit framework against CSAA's actual Oracle Java deployment framework rather than the publisher's preferred broad Oracle Java framework. The framework segmented the Oracle Java audit framework across the customer's actual Oracle Java deployment framework, the customer's actual Oracle Java product framework, the customer's actual Oracle Java licensing framework, and the customer's actual Oracle Java audit framework.

Redress segmented the Oracle Java audit framework across four principal Oracle Java audit populations: the Oracle Java SE deployment framework, the Oracle Java SE Universal Subscription framework, the Oracle Java exit framework, and the Oracle Java OpenJDK alternative framework. The framework anchored the Oracle Java audit framework against CSAA's actual Oracle Java deployment framework rather than the publisher's preferred broad Oracle Java SE Universal Subscription framework.

The buyer side moves

Redress applied an eleven move framework across the Oracle Java audit. The full sequence is set out below.

  1. Anchor the audit framework. Anchor the Oracle Java audit framework against CSAA's actual Oracle Java deployment framework rather than the publisher's preferred broad Oracle Java framework.
  2. Segment the estate. Segment the Oracle Java framework across CSAA's actual Oracle Java product framework.
  3. Population review. Run the Oracle Java audit framework across the four principal Oracle Java audit populations.
  4. OpenJDK alternative. Apply the Oracle Java OpenJDK alternative framework where CSAA's Oracle Java deployment framework supported the OpenJDK alternative.
  5. Build a credible competitive posture. Stand up alternative Oracle Java, alternative Java runtime, and alternative OpenJDK frameworks as live options.
  6. Broader Oracle audit framework. Run the broader Oracle audit framework against the Oracle Java framework.
  7. SE Universal Subscription negotiation. Negotiate the Oracle Java SE Universal Subscription framework against the publisher's preferred broad SE Universal Subscription framework.
  8. Apply the Java exit framework. Apply the Oracle Java exit framework where CSAA's deployment supported an Oracle Java exit.
  9. Audit response framework. Run the Oracle Java audit response framework across the contracted Oracle Java audit framework.
  10. Lock in the settlement. Lock in the Oracle Java audit settlement framework.
  11. Vendor management posture. Run the broader Oracle Java vendor management posture across the contracted Oracle Java framework.

The commercial outcome

CSAA closed the Oracle Java audit claim at zero cost, one point five million dollars below the publisher's opening Oracle Java audit framework claim. The framework anchored the Oracle Java audit against CSAA's actual Oracle Java deployment rather than the publisher's preferred broad Oracle Java framework.
