When we help

Three moments we step in

Scenario 01
Support cost reduction
Oracle support is consuming twenty two percent of the license run rate every year. The CFO has asked for a credible reduction path. The internal team needs an independent assessment.
Scenario 02
Sustaining engineering review
The Oracle estate is mature, stable, and no longer consuming meaningful update or upgrade value. A third party sustaining engineering review is overdue.
Scenario 03
Cloud migration timeline
The workload is migrating to a non Oracle cloud across a multi year horizon. Third party support is the bridge that funds the migration without compounding Oracle support cost.
How we help

Four phase buyer side procedure

Phase 01
Scope and eligibility
Estate scope, contract scope, and the buyer side eligibility review against each Oracle product family for third party support viability.
Phase 02
Sustaining review
Sustaining engineering value reviewed. Update consumption, upgrade plan, and security patch coverage modeled against the transition baseline.
Phase 03
Negotiation
Provider selection, contract terms, repatriation clauses, and the Oracle commercial reset negotiated together. Audit defense posture drafted.
Phase 04
Close and side letter
Transition signed. Oracle support termination notice issued. Audit defense file handed over. Cloud migration timeline aligned to the savings.
