Overview
Where we step in
Oracle runs the most aggressive commercial machine in enterprise software. We step in before the ULA certification window closes, when the Java employee metric letter lands, and when the renewal quote assumes you will not check the math.
Our Oracle practice runs six engagements: a full license review, optimization and contract review that builds your effective position, a proactive Java licensing assessment that minimizes or eliminates Oracle Java cost, Java audit defense when Oracle has already made contact, an Oracle support strategy that models every reduction net of repricing, a third party support transition run cleanly from readiness to exit, and OCI optimization that sizes the next Universal Credit commitment from verified burn. ULA exits, certifications, and renewal negotiations run inside these engagements or as standalone mandates.
What we do
Pick the engagement that fits the moment
Six fixed scope engagements cover the Oracle estate end to end. Each runs four defined workstreams for one all inclusive fixed price, with up to four advisory calls and email support across the term.
Most requestedAudit defenseJava audit defense
Oracle's opening number is built from download logs and the employee metric. Published claims of $20M, $4.7M, and $1.5M closed at zero.

Why clients pick us
Most Oracle advice comes from firms that also sell Oracle licenses, resell Oracle cloud, or collect referral fees from the vendors they advise on. We built Redress the other way, and it shows in the outcomes.
Independence100 percent on your side
Zero vendor affiliations. No reseller agreements with Oracle or any Oracle partner. No referral fees. Our advice is structurally independent of any vendor commercial interest.
Experience20 years inside Oracle deals
The practice is led by negotiation and licensing experts with more than 200 Oracle engagements delivered: ULA and PULA certifications, audit defense, Java, support strategy, and OCI commercial structures.
ResultsOutcomes you can verify
Published case studies, not anonymous claims: a $20M Java claim closed at zero, $4.7M at zero, €12M saved on support over three years, and 32 percent average ULA exit savings.
Commercial modelFixed fee or contingency
All inclusive fixed fees with first deliverables in 10 to 15 business days, or contingency where our fee comes only out of savings we deliver. The Java audit guarantee backs the defense work.

Frequently asked questions
Questions clients ask us first
When should we start before a ULA certification or renewal?
Twelve months out. The certification window and Oracle's fiscal year end decide your leverage, and the deployment count takes time to build defensibly.
Can you make a Java claim go away?
Often, yes. Published engagements resolved claims of $20M, $4.7M, and $1.5M at zero cost. The defensible employee count is the whole game.
Do you work against a live LMS audit?
Yes. We build your entitlement position first and manage the response so findings are negotiated from evidence, not from Oracle's first number.
Are you independent of Oracle?
Completely. No reseller margin, no vendor money, no referral fees. Your side only.
Which Oracle services do you offer?
Six fixed scope engagements: license review, optimization and contract review, Java licensing assessment and optimization, Java audit defense, support strategy, third party support transition, and OCI optimization. ULA exits and renewal negotiations run inside them or as standalone mandates.
How are engagements priced?
Fixed price, all inclusive, or contingency where our fee comes only out of savings we deliver. Every fixed fee covers the full workstreams, up to four advisory calls, and email support across the term. No hourly billing.
Why use Redress instead of a reseller or SAM tool vendor?
Because we hold no Oracle money. Zero vendor affiliations, no reseller agreements, no referral fees, and more than 200 Oracle engagements behind the method. Advice funded by the seller ends up serving the seller.
Do you replace our team in front of Oracle?
No. We advise and prepare, and your team keeps the chair and all vendor communications. Every Oracle proposal gets a written assessment before you respond, and we prepare your side ahead of every key meeting.
