When we help

Three moments we step in

Scenario 01
LMS soft inquiry
Oracle License Management Services has issued a usage questionnaire or download history request. No formal audit letter yet, but the meter has started.
Scenario 02
Java SE Universal Subscription audit
Formal audit notice landed under the Universal Subscription metric. Oracle is counting every employee, every contractor, every temp.
Scenario 03
Settlement in negotiation
Findings issued. A seven or eight figure settlement is on the table. You need an independent counter posture before signing anything.
How we help

Four phase buyer side procedure

Phase 01
Containment
Engagement scoped, communications protocol locked, and Oracle correspondence routed through counsel. No raw telemetry leaves the building.
Phase 02
Buyer side baseline
Independent measurement of the Java estate from employee records, asset register, and runtime telemetry. Oracle numbers compared line by line.
Phase 03
Metric contestation
Universal Subscription employee count challenged, deployment evidence assembled, and a written counter position delivered to Oracle.
Phase 04
Close and side letter
Settlement closed at the buyer side number. Side letter prevents the same findings from following into renewal or any successor agreement.
