Proactively mimic the Oracle License Audit
The Baseline Oracle License Review mimics the Oracle License Audit; and provides your organization with an Effective License Position for installed & used Oracle software. Since the review mimics an Oracle License Audit, simulating a similar environment & procedures to an actual Oracle audit provides you with exactly the same reports & compliance analysis.
This helps you identify over and under usage, gives you the opportunity to remediate & rebalance your deployment to eliminate risks, reduce costs and establish a true baseline to feed into requirements for your next renewal.
