About us

Independent by design.

Oracle licensing is a knowledge asymmetry: one side wrote the contracts, runs the audits and sets the prices. We exist to remove that asymmetry — nothing else. We don’t resell software, we don’t take vendor referral fees, and we never will.

How we think

Three principles, no exceptions.

PRINCIPLE 01
Evidence beats opinion

Every recommendation traces to a measured deployment, a contract clause, or a benchmark. If we can’t prove it, we don’t say it.

PRINCIPLE 02
One side of the table

We are paid by clients only. No reseller margins, no vendor incentives, no audit work for software publishers. Our advice has exactly one customer.

PRINCIPLE 03
Discretion is the product

License positions are sensitive. Engagements run under NDA, findings go to named individuals, and we never disclose client names — even as references, unless asked.

Where we stand

What we will — and won’t — do.

We never

  • Resell Oracle licenses or take sales commissions
  • Share client data with any vendor, ever
  • Run audits on behalf of software publishers
  • Recommend buying as the default answer
  • Hide behind “it depends” — you get a number and a position

We always

  • Put findings in writing, priced in your currency
  • Work under NDA from the first conversation
  • Tell you when you don’t need us
  • Coordinate with your legal counsel on audits
  • Leave your team able to manage the estate after we’re gone
The team

Specialists, not generalists.

Our advisors come from the other side of the table: Oracle license auditing, Big-4 software asset management practices, and enterprise IT procurement. Every engagement is staffed by people who have personally run — or defended — dozens of audits, certifications and renewals.

PRACTICE
Audit & compliance

Ex-auditors who know the scripts, the playbooks and the internal escalation paths — because they used them.

PRACTICE
Contracts & commercial

Specialists in Oracle paper: OMAs, ordering documents, ULAs, support policies and the clauses that decide outcomes.

PRACTICE
Technology & discovery

Engineers who measure estates accurately — virtualization, cloud, options usage — so the numbers hold up under audit.

Meet the people who’ll sit on your side.

Tell us what you’re facing — an audit, a renewal, a Java question — and we’ll match you with the right specialist.
