Background
A prominent bank in the Middle East was preparing to certify its Oracle Unlimited License Agreement (ULA) with a complex database environment spanning on-premise, including Oracle-engineered systems. They needed expert guidance to ensure a successful certification process.
Challenge
The bank was facing a potential non-compliance risk of $5 million. The complexity of their database environment made it difficult to understand their licensing position fully. They needed a comprehensive strategy to address this risk and optimize their Oracle ULA for the certification process.
