Independent Oracle
01 — PRACTICE

What this firm does

Software Licensing Consultants (SLC) is an Oracle specialist working entirely on the buyer’s side. It focuses on the parts of Oracle licensing that move the number: processor and named-user-plus metrics, database options and management packs, ULA entry and exit, and the negotiation of new purchases and renewals. Rather than spreading across many publishers, SLC concentrates its depth on Oracle, which is the publisher whose audit and contract mechanics are among the most complex.

Services offered

  • Oracle license negotiation
  • Oracle renewal and ULA support
  • Oracle licensing advisory and optimization
  • Effective-licence-position review for Oracle estates
