When we help

Three moments we step in

Scenario 01
ULA renewal
A ULA is approaching certification or renewal. Oracle is anchoring the renewal at a multi year construct that the board cannot underwrite as quoted.
Scenario 02
Pool of Funds expansion
Oracle is proposing a Pool of Funds expansion against the existing commit. The line item count is growing and the discount stack needs to be defended.
Scenario 03
New ERP buy
Fusion Cloud, NetSuite, or a new EBS module is on the desk. The discount, ramp, and price protection terms need a buyer side counter before signing.
How we help

Four phase buyer side procedure

Phase 01
Scope and baseline
Spend baseline, deployment scan, contractual review of every ordering document, and the compliance posture locked. No data crosses to Oracle yet.
Phase 02
Deployment review
Oracle measurement reviewed against the baseline. Benchmark book built. Negotiation position paper drafted for legal sign off.
Phase 03
Negotiation
Twelve levers sequenced across the calendar. Redress sits inside every meeting, drafts every counter, reviews every Oracle ordering document.
Phase 04
Close and side letter
Signed paper through legal. Renewal cycle file captures the institutional memory. Price protection locked for the next four years.
