Oracle License Pricing Advisory

Savings of 30% to 100%

Rythium has been working on understanding Oracle pricing and contract terms over the past decade across the globe. This has given us the ability to advise our customers on the correct commercial and contractual terms to negotiate with Oracle.

Oracle Pricing Changes Overview

In our view, Oracle had maintained a reputation for competitive and consistent pricing within the enterprise IT space over the past decades. But this is changing.

In the past few quarters:

Oracle has started to bring in many changes to their
- license metrics,
- product bundles,
- license agreements and
- pricing structures.
The complexity of their licensing structures has led to over-procurement of certain licenses while not managing compliance for many of their products.
Oracle has been increasing their support prices.
Oracle support re-pricing has become more stringent even while many customers are looking to exit the usage of specific products.
