Oracle ULA Renewal & Certification Management

Oracle ULA Renewal Management & Certification

Till some years ago, we used to focus on working with customers who wanted to enter into Unlimited License Agreements (ULAs) with Oracle. The situation has changed in the past few years. Customers are currently focussing on managing the ULAs that have already been contracted.

The questions that our customers are asking today are:

  • What is the value we have got by signing onto the Oracle ULA?
  • What are the compliance risks we might get exposed to?
  • We still have time; do we have the understanding & methods to get more value?
  • Should we
    • Renew the ULA,
    • Enter a Perpetual ULA (PULA) or
    • Terminate & certify the licenses deployed during the term of the ULA

Timing:

When should customers engage?

While customers can get into an engagement with us for this service at any time during the term of the ULA, we recommend a one-year program is best suited to understand opportunities, threats, optimize usage and maximise the return on your ULA investments.
