Oracle licensing consultant – How do you find the right one? – I only realized how difficult a topic this as it became clear that I had misunderstood other service providers’ capabilities and delivery models. If I – who is working within this small world – can’t understand the differences, how will prospective buyers find an Oracle licensing expert they can trust to deliver independent advice on Oracle licensing and cloud? In this niche business, there is often a front figure doing the selling, but then it turns out that whoever is doing the delivery is a junior consultant or offshore resource. You can argue that it is like you buy a shiny brand-new car, but when you get it delivered it is not the same car, or the performance is not at all what you expected during the buying process.
Find out what is their services delivery model before you sign an Oracle licensing services contract. Is it the person who you are talking to in a pre-sale’s conversation or will the project be led by someone else?

Recommendation:
The analysis of Oracle LMS scripts is important, getting it wrong with just a few % means that you as the client could pay millions in avoidable licensing fees to Oracle. There are many Oracle licensing consultants that offers this with different degrees in quality. For example, Oracle Database LMS script analysis is by far the easiest and SAM tools get it right with 80% – which is obviously not enough if you are aware of Oracle software pricing. If you need help on Oracle LMS script analysis for Oracle Middleware and Applications including Oracle EBS, Siebel and Primavera that knowledge is hard to come by.
