Introduction
Oracle’s Pool of Funds (PoF) model is promoted as flexible. In reality, it is designed to drive future Oracle spend — locking customers into Oracle software and cloud products.
Without proper management, your Oracle Pool of Funds becomes a financial trap:
Forced spend within strict timelines
Limited product choice
No refund for unused funds
Risk of shelfware
Redress Compliance helps organizations negotiate, manage, and optimize Oracle Pool of Funds agreements.
We provide independent advisory services to protect your budget and maximize value.
