The short answer: A Java license review is only useful if it is detailed enough to show Oracle that you are licensed, or to show where you are not. This is our account of a review for a client with about 40,000 employees. The new CIO said it was the most detailed Java work he had seen. Our Java license review service delivers this kind of work.

Oracle Java license review feedback

We recently received a compliment from a client about our work on Java license reviews. We are working on an Oracle Java license review at this client, which has a new CIO.

The CIO had earlier worked at another large firm, also with about 40,000 employees. A globally known firm had been hired there to run an Oracle Java license review. He compared that work with ours and said:

This is the best work on Oracle Java licensing that I have seen. We commissioned similar work at my former company, but that firm’s analysis simply didn’t reach this level of detail. The level of detail, multiple perspectives and the licensing knowledge you provide equips us with the necessary information to engage with Oracle and clearly demonstrate that we are fully licensed.

An unsolicited assessment like this means a great deal to us.
