Oracle License Support 

 License Estate Optimisation

With many transformation programs, organisations are faced with a large elephant license in the room. What to do they do about the historic License investment and debt associated with their legacy enterprise technology and applications.

Financial Benefits

To fully benefit financially from any transformation program, organisations need to rationalise their License estates and consolidate their operational costs before making any investment in new software. By undertaking this exercise as part of the transformation program significantly improves the Return On Investment (ROI) figures when comparing financial benefit with the combined ‘old and new’ estate.

Cost Neutrality

In many cases, the reduction in costs and consolidation of older enterprise-class software such as Oracle can contribute valuable returned budget to fund the modernisation program. ONQU can provide the required licensing expertise to deliver change at a reduce cost whilst mitigating any future expenditure through negotiating support contracts with the software vendors.

There are a number of proven methods that ONQU can share to help realise this saving and we have example use cases where our consultants have saved over half of the program costs especially with Oracle and large Microsoft database upgrades and moves in to the cloud.
