When we help

Three moments we step in

Scenario 01

Bank audit notice

Oracle LMS has opened an inquiry on a retail or commercial bank. Database, RAC, options, and OFSAA all under measurement.

Scenario 02

Insurance ULA review

A multi year Oracle ULA is approaching certification across an insurance group. Asymmetric exposure on Database, options, and OFSAA.

Scenario 03

Trading platform licensing

Front office, risk, and market data depend on Oracle. Compute density, virtualization, and DR rules are all in play with LMS.
