🛡 Java Audit Defence Guarantee

We Guarantee to Reduce Your Oracle Java Audit Claim — Or You Don’t Pay

If you’ve received an Oracle Java audit letter, compliance review invitation, or any Java-related vendor communication — engage us before responding. We will take full ownership of the audit process: manage all Oracle communications, challenge every finding, and fight for the lowest possible resolution.

Our guarantee: We will reduce Oracle’s initial Java audit claim by a minimum of 50%, or our engagement is free. Across 400+ Java engagements, we have achieved an average reduction of 85%. Some claims have been reduced by over 95%.

Guarantee applies to new Java audit defence engagements. Reduction measured against Oracle’s initial documented audit claim. Fixed-fee or contingency basis available.

Is This Service Right for You?

If any of the following situations sound familiar, this service was built for you.

01

You’re Unsure How Oracle’s Java Changes Affect You

Oracle has fundamentally changed Java licensing — from free to subscription-based, with aggressive enforcement. If you don’t know which Java versions are deployed and what your obligations are, you’re at risk.

02

You’ve Received a Java Communication from Oracle

Whether it’s an audit letter, a “compliance review” invitation, or a sales outreach mentioning Java — Oracle is systematically pursuing Java licensing revenue. You need independent expertise before engaging.

03

You Want to Reduce or Eliminate Java Costs

There are legitimate alternatives to paying Oracle for Java. We help you evaluate OpenJDK distributions, plan migrations, and build a roadmap that minimises or eliminates your Java licensing spend entirely.

04

You’re Negotiating an Oracle Java SE Subscription

Oracle’s Java SE subscription pricing is employee-based and can be extremely expensive. We benchmark pricing, challenge Oracle’s deployment counts, and negotiate terms that protect your interests.

05

You Have Java in Containers, Cloud, or DevOps Pipelines

Container and cloud Java deployments create hidden licensing exposure. We identify every Java instance across servers, desktops, containers, cloud, and CI/CD pipelines — before Oracle does.

06

You’re Planning an M&A or Technology Transformation

Mergers, acquisitions, and cloud migrations create Java licensing blind spots. We assess inherited Java estates and ensure you’re not acquiring hidden compliance liabilities.

Don’t Wait for Oracle to Contact You

Oracle is systematically auditing Java deployments worldwide. A proactive assessment now can save you millions. Our initial consultation is free and confidential.

Our Java Advisory Services

We don’t just analyse. We arm you — with data, leverage, and control.

Java Estate Discovery & Assessment

We identify every Java installation across your infrastructure — servers, desktops, containers, cloud instances, and CI/CD pipelines. You get a complete inventory of versions, vendors, and licensing obligations.

  • Full environment scanning (on-prem, cloud, hybrid)
  • Oracle JDK vs OpenJDK distribution mapping
  • Version-level risk classification
  • Developer workstation and build server coverage

Compliance Risk Analysis

We map your Java deployments against Oracle’s current licensing terms, identifying exactly where you’re exposed and quantifying the financial risk. No guesswork — hard numbers.

  • Oracle Java SE licence obligation analysis
  • Employee-based vs Named User Plus modelling
  • Historical usage exposure quantification
  • Executive-ready risk report with financials

Java Audit Defence

  • Full audit response management
  • Oracle audit methodology challenge
  • Deployment data counter-analysis
  • Guaranteed minimum 50% claim reduction

Cost Optimisation & Migration

We develop actionable plans to reduce Java costs — through migration to alternative JDKs, version consolidation, deployment optimisation, or strategic negotiation with Oracle.

  • OpenJDK migration roadmap (Adoptium, Corretto, Azul)
  • Java SE subscription negotiation & benchmarking
  • Version consolidation strategy
  • Ongoing Java governance framework

Java Subscription Negotiation

If Oracle Java SE subscription is unavoidable, we ensure you pay the minimum possible. We benchmark against 400+ comparable deals and negotiate terms, caps, and exit rights.

  • Employee-based pricing benchmark
  • Named User Plus alternative modelling
  • Multi-year discount structuring
  • Contractual protection and exit rights

We help you build policies and tooling to maintain Java compliance over time — preventing new exposure from developer downloads, container images, and cloud deployments.
