What's included

Everything the engagement covers.

01

License position assessment

An independent, defensible measurement of your entitlements versus deployment — the single source of truth vendors cannot dispute.

02

Optimization & rationalization

We surface shelfware, over-licensing and edition mismatches, then re-map licenses to what the business actually uses.

03

Java & cloud licensing strategy

Oracle Java SE, cloud BYOL and hybrid entitlement strategy that avoids the traps designed to force new subscriptions.

04

Renewal & audit readiness

A clean, evidence-backed position ready for any renewal or audit — no surprises, no scramble.

How it works

A clear path from first call to signature.

Step 1

Inventory

We collect entitlements, deployment data and usage across the estate — no vendor tooling required.

Step 2

Reconcile

Entitlements are reconciled against real deployment to produce a defensible license position.

Step 3

Optimize

We identify savings, shelfware and risk, and re-map licensing to genuine need.

Step 4

Sustain

You leave with a maintainable position and a plan for the next renewal or audit.
