Independence, insider experience, purpose-built tooling and a genuinely multi-disciplinary bench.
We are neither a partner of Oracle nor a reseller of their licences. We are on the same side of the table as you.
Most licence consulting companies, be it the large audit firms with IT service arms or "SAM" service companies, have an inherent, built-in conflict of interest because of their association with Oracle as a licence reseller, integration partner or implementation partner. These companies play on both sides of the table. Any potential non-compliance situation is a revenue opportunity for them, rather than a situation that should be interpreted correctly and resolved with multiple remedial possibilities.
We make no money from reselling Oracle licences or implementing/integrating Oracle solutions. We respect Oracle's technology and applications, understand its licensing in depth, and use this knowledge to reduce our customers' risk and exposure.
Our CEO is vain enough to believe that he is the best in this business, and our customers believe this too.
We are also proud to state that we do not have a single even slightly unhappy customer in this business.
We understand Oracle and its licensing principles, processes, practices and people like very few other companies do. We spend a lot of time researching the changing nuances of Oracle's approach to licensing its products to customers across the globe.
Almost manual methods: multiple scripts and port scanners.
A better tool that picks up everything Oracle's own tools pick up, then goes further: feature usage, virtualisation, hard partitioning and the other parameters that influence final licence deployment counts.
We have built our own tools that do all that and much more. Our tools have Oracle licensing rules from 1996 onwards embedded into them. This ensures that no mistake is made in interpreting your license deployed positions.
Rythium was formed by a former Oracle executive with nearly 17 years of "selling" Oracle products and getting customers to sign Oracle licence agreements: each an art in itself, and the latter not easy when facing a questioning customer. Doing the same thing hundreds of times builds a real understanding of how to manoeuvre around Oracle's contracts with skill and care.
Since its founding, Rythium has helped customers manage Oracle contracts, licence audits, audit defences, ULAs and PULAs.
Oracle has one of the largest product portfolios in the software market, and each product can, and does, carry a different licensing methodology. Every engagement draws on technology, application, contractual, commercial and risk expertise at the same time. Advising a customer on Oracle licensing requires a consultant to know:
Rythium has all of these skills, and the tools, to deliver the best independent Oracle licence management services.
Rythium helps customers reduce Oracle licence and support costs, and remain licence compliant.
