Frequently Asked Questions
Rythium was founded by Sheshagiri Anegondi, a former Vice President at Oracle Corporation and a leading Oracle license expert. The leadership team carries over 75 person-years of combined Oracle licensing, audit defense, contract and negotiation expertise. That knowledge sharpened across hundreds of independent engagements, is the core of what we offer.
Oracle’s License Management Services team reports into Oracle’s revenue line. Their job is to identify gaps and convert them into deals. Our job is to protect your position. We interpret contracts the way you would if you had ex-Oracle expertise in-house, challenge findings that don’t stand on contract language, and negotiate outcomes that reflect what you actually use.
Our clients save between 30% and 100% of their identified license exposure in some engagements. Across 240+ engagements, savings have ranged from US$250,000 to US$60 million per customer. The biggest savings come from Java reviews, ULA certifications, audit defense, and support cost reduction. We size the opportunity before you commit, so the business case is clear up front.
We are an independent Oracle license advisory firm. We help enterprises reduce Oracle license and support costs, defend against Oracle audits, plan ULA certifications, and manage Java licensing. We have worked with 240+ customers across 12 countries since 2015. We do not resell Oracle licenses, so our advice sits firmly on your side of the table.
Yes. We are not an Oracle partner, reseller, or implementer. We do not earn referral fees, margin, or rebates from Oracle on any client engagement. Our entire revenue model comes from clients paying us to protect their interests. This independence is the most important commercial decision we have ever made.
This independence married with the expertise of our leadership team makes us, arguably, the best Oracle license advisory firm in the world.
No. We are neither an Oracle partner nor an Oracle reseller. We make no money from Oracle on any transaction. This is a deliberate choice. It is the only way to give clients honest advice during audits, ULA certifications, and contract negotiations, where a reseller’s incentives would conflict with the client’s interest.
Three things. First, deep Oracle DNA: founded by a former Oracle VP, with over 75 person-years of Oracle licensing experience. Second, no reseller conflict: we earn nothing from Oracle. Third, we go beyond reports. We run the audit, ULA, or negotiation alongside you, from start to close.
We are remote-first with our HQ in Navi Mumbai, India. We deliver engagements across
• India,
• North America
• The Middle East (UAE, Oman, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar),
• Africa (Kenya, South Africa Nigeria),
• Southeast Asia (Singapore, Myanmar),
• UK
Our team handles multi-country and multi-entity Oracle estates routinely.
Both ends of the spectrum.
• Our smallest engagements cover estates with as few as 2 servers and 500 desktops.
• Our largest engagements cover 20,000+ servers and 260,000+ desktops.
• Banks, insurance, fintech, telecom, IT/ITES, retail, automotive, EPC, manufacturing, healthcare and hospitality are all represented in our client base.
License and compliance data are sensitive. References are shared only one-on-one and only after the client has explicitly approved the introduction. NDAs are standard in every engagement. Our team has handled deeply confidential audit and ULA data for over a decade without incident.
Most engagements begin with a confidential conversation about your current Oracle position, usually an upcoming audit, a ULA expiry, a Java letter from Oracle, or a renewal. We can scope a focused assessment and engagement options within a couple of days after the initial discussion
We respect publisher intellectual property and contractual rights. Our work is about helping clients use Oracle products correctly under their entitlements, not about circumventing them. We do not advise clients to under-license, hide deployments, or violate contract terms.
Our value comes from getting the licensing right, not from getting around it.
