Oracle Licensing Advisory Service (OLAS)

Oracle software licensing agreements have become increasingly complex over recent years to reflect an equally complex technology landscape. In turn, this has meant that many Oracle clients fail to capitalise on their existing Oracle license grant and for some, it has created the potential for license non-compliance and unbudgeted future spend.

PDG are experts with Oracle licensing. Our service provides you with contractual, organisational and market knowledge to ensure that PDG help you to gain the best commercial agreements with Oracle both in terms of price and more importantly, to ensure that your licensing matches the needs of your business.

We are often called in by clients that are undergoing an Oracle license audit and who have been visited by the Oracle COLS or LMS team. In such instances, we act for you and advise you to ensure that the agreement that you reach with Oracle provides the best outcome for your organisation now, and for the future.

PDG’s knowledge and experience is provided by a team of ex-Oracle business managers, each of whom has a thorough understanding of the way that Oracle operates, and of their commercial environment.

Government Clients

Did you know that the Office of Government Commerce (OGC) have negotiated a deal with Oracle which allows public service organisations to license all of their employees for Oracle products including the Oracle database and the Oracle eBusines at huge discounts? The agreement is explained in a document called the Memorandum of Understanding between OGC and Oracle. To find out more, contact PDG.

PDG helped us to save approximately £1,000,000 on software licenses by optimising software licensing across Europe.
