Who Needs This Service?
Our Java Audit Defense Service is built for organizations that are:
01
You have received a formal audit notification or have been contacted by Oracle’s LMS (License Management Services).
02
Oracle is approaching you to “discuss” Java licensing, often tied to past usage, software downloads, or installation claims. These soft audits can lead to unexpected financial demands, sometimes retroactive over several years.
Read some of our real-world case stories of how customers paid zero to Oracle.
What Do We Offer?
✅ Written Guarantee: Zero Retroactive Payments
We stand behind our work. If you follow our strategy, we guarantee the outcome will be zero payments for retroactive or past Java use.
Independent Java Licensing Assessment
Our Independent Java licensing assessment begins with a thorough review of your Java environment. We identify where Java is used, whether it’s licensable, and how it maps against Oracle’s licensing frameworks like OTN, BCL, and NFTC. This isn’t guesswork—we provide clear, actionable insights on risks, license-free alternatives, and what steps to take before Oracle gets involved.
Audit strategy
Next, we develop a custom audit strategy tailored to your situation. If Oracle has download records or claims based on security updates, we help you build a response plan. This includes timing tactics to delay any audit escalation, steps to reduce visibility into your Java usage, and advice on moving away from Oracle Java without triggering a financial claim.
Java Audit Defense Services
Our Java Audit Defense Support team serves as your shield throughout the audit process. We take the lead in limiting the audit’s scope and timeline, controlling what information is shared, and ensuring Oracle only sees what it’s entitled to see. We know what Oracle looks for and how to push back with technical and legal accuracy. Your internal teams won’t be left to guess—we manage every step.
Oracle audit negotiations
Ultimately, when it comes to Oracle audit negotiations, we manage the entire communication process. That includes Oracle sales, their LMS audit teams, and even their legal contacts if needed. We push back on inflated licensing claims, challenge assumptions, and prevent Oracle from using pressure tactics to close deals. Our negotiation strategy focuses on shifting leverage to your side, preventing unnecessary purchases, and avoiding all retroactive fees.
Our Dedication
