“A customer reached out to us, they were facing an Oracle audit. As a large systems integrator, this audit would require hundreds if not thousands of man-hours in preparation time.
License tracking is a complex process, regardless of the software vendor. It is not enough to just know the products purchased, start and end dates, products installed in production and license assignments, multiply this by several platforms and you have an insurmountable task!
Oracle License Compliance Solutions
The Systems Integrator, facing a software audit, knew exactly where to start in tackling this daunting task. They contacted us.
Using APEX Express, we designed a solution to quickly identify current, expired, over-utilized, and under-utilized ORACLE software products. In addition the solution includes the tracking of Service Request as logging SRs against unlicensed products is a red flag.With a clear view of their ORACLE software landscape, The Systems Integrator faced the audit with confidence.
According to the Integrator’s Chief Enterprise Architect,
“Your APEX solution saved us 1,000s of hours preparing for an audit and just over $1M in fines. The auditors were astounded with our audit prep and there were no findings. The dashboard on service request for both licensed and unlicensed products was a great bonus – thanks you and your team for a job well done!”
