Oracle Negotiation Services

Oracle negotiates from an information advantage and a calendar full of pressure points — quarter-end, ULA expiry, audit findings and cloud (OCI) push. Our Oracle negotiation services and advisors level the field with ex-Oracle insight into how discounts, support streams and cloud credits are really constructed.

What we cover

What We Do

Oracle Negotiation — What's Included

Support across purchases, renewals, ULAs, support reduction and OCI — decoupled from any active audit.

Where our Oracle negotiation advisors add value

We support every Oracle commercial event: new purchases, renewals, ULA negotiation and certification, support cost reduction, and OCI / cloud commitment deals. We baseline your position, expose Oracle's leverage and yours, and build the strategy to land a better price and better terms. Crucially, we separate the negotiation from any active audit — Oracle often links the two, and decoupling them is itself a source of savings.

Why independent matters

We don't resell Oracle and we take no Oracle incentive. That means our advice on whether to renew, restructure, drop support or move to third-party support is driven by your economics alone.

Engage early

The best outcomes come from starting 6–9 months ahead of a renewal or ULA anniversary, so we can build leverage before Oracle's deadline becomes your problem.

Common Questions

Oracle Negotiation Services — FAQ

How do you negotiate with Oracle?
Successfully negotiating with Oracle means preparing early, knowing your real deployment and contractual position, decoupling any audit from the commercial deal, and using Oracle's own calendar (quarter and fiscal year-end) as leverage rather than letting it pressure you. Independent advisors supply the benchmarks and tactics to do this.
What is the 70/30 rule in negotiation?
It's the guideline that you should spend roughly 70% of a negotiation listening and gathering information and 30% talking. Against Oracle, that means understanding their targets and your usage thoroughly before tabling any proposal.
Can you reduce Oracle support costs?
Often, yes. Depending on your contract and roadmap, options include retiring unused licences before renewal, restructuring the support base, or moving eligible products to third-party support — each modelled against the risks.
