Oracle Cloud (OCI) Licensing — Advisory for Cost Optimization, Contract Negotiation & Compliance

Back to Knowledge hub

Introduction

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) offers flexibility and scale. But Oracle’s cloud licensing strategy is designed to drive spend — not save you money.

Without proper management, OCI customers face:

01

Overcommitment to cloud credits

02

Poor cost visibility

03

Complex BYOL (Bring Your Own License) challenges

04

Contract terms favoring Oracle

05

Risks from ULA to Cloud transitions

Redress Compliance helps organizations manage Oracle Cloud licensing — with a focus on cost optimization, contract flexibility, and compliance risk reduction.

We provide independent Oracle Cloud advisory — 100% on the customer side.
