Oracle Cloud Management.

Everything commercial about Oracle in the cloud, taught from the buyer's side of the table: the Cloud Services Agreement and the ordering documents, OCI credits and the commitment, BYOL and Support Rewards, Oracle on AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, the SaaS estate from first signature to exit, and one capstone negotiation that sequences all of it. Thirty sessions of thirty minutes, each with analyst grade slides, on screen knowledge checks with worked answers, guest analyst clips, homework, and further reading.

The curriculum

Modules 1 and 2 are the prerequisites; modules 3 to 5 can be taken in any order; module 6 assumes all of it. Sessions publish in order.

Module 1 · The Oracle cloud contract stack
The paper every cloud dollar flows through: the CSA, the orders, the policies, and the pricing.
01
SaaS, OCI, multicloud, where the money flows, and why the renewal replaced the audit.
02
Structure and precedence, the clauses that matter, and what is actually negotiable.
03
The UC order and the SaaS order line by line, and reading a quote like an analyst.
04
SLAs, support policy, hosting and delivery, and the data processing agreement.
05
List versus net, discount benchmarks by deal size, and reading a quote like an analyst.
Module 2 · OCI commercials
Consumption models, the commitment, BYOL, Support Rewards, and cost governance.
06
Pay As You Go versus Universal Credits, OCPU versus ECPU, and the services that dominate bills.
07
Ramps, carryover, overage, true ups, and commitment sizing from measured consumption.
08
Conversion ratios, BYOL versus license included arithmetic, and BYOL compliance in the cloud.
09
The $0.25 and $0.33 accrual, stacking with BYOL, and zeroing a support bill.
10
Budgets, compartments, tagging, credit burn monitoring, and the monthly review.
Module 3 · Oracle on AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud
The authorized cloud policy, the Database at services, and choosing the platform.
11
vCPU counting on AWS, Azure, and GCP, and the policy's contractual weight.
12
RDS for Oracle versus EC2 self managed, licensing each correctly, and the crossover points.
13
Lifting JDE, EBS, and PeopleSoft to AWS or GCP, and the patterns auditors examine.
14
The multicloud database services, Multicloud Universal Credits, and when they win.
15
A worked TCO comparison for Oracle workloads across OCI, AWS, Azure, and GCP.
Module 4 · Oracle SaaS licensing
The Fusion portfolio, the metrics, and the ERP and HCM deals.
16
ERP, EPM, SCM, HCM, CX, and NetSuite, and where the definitions hide the money.
17
Service descriptions, minimums, environments, and the questions to ask before signing.
18
Module by module licensing, user scoping, and negotiating the initial Fusion ERP deal.
19
The Hosted Employee metric in practice, module packaging, and HCM negotiation levers.
20
Migration programs, trading support streams for subscriptions, and the point of no return.
Module 5 · The SaaS lifecycle
From the first signature to the exit: renewals, shelfware, and compliance.
21
Ramps, price holds, renewal caps, swap rights, and the concessions that only exist at signature.
22
The uplift playbook, right sizing with your own usage data, timing, and escalation.
23
Usage analytics, documenting the gap, and building the renewal file all year.
24
Termination mechanics, retrieval windows, and making the exit threat credible.

Overuse detection, user definition disputes, and how Oracle polices subscriptions.
