Oracle negotiation services are independent, buyer-side advisors who plan and run your Oracle deal so you pay less and sign safer terms. Oracle negotiates from an information advantage and a calendar full of pressure points: quarter-end, ULA expiry, audit findings and the cloud (OCI) push. Our ex-Oracle advisors level the field with insight into how discounts, support streams and cloud credits are really constructed.

Support across purchases, renewals, ULAs, support reduction and OCI, decoupled from any active audit.
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 use 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.
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.
The best outcomes come from starting 6 to 9 months ahead of a renewal or ULA anniversary, so we can build bargaining power before Oracle's deadline becomes your problem.
A buyer-side engagement built to start before Oracle's clock does, so use sits with you.
We map your deployed estate, entitlements and renewal timeline, then benchmark Oracle's opening position against deals of similar shape. You enter the room knowing what good looks like, not what Oracle says it looks like.
If an audit is open or threatened, we separate it from the commercial deal. Oracle routinely links the two to manufacture urgency. Pulling them apart is often the single largest source of savings in the engagement.
We model licence, support, ULA and OCI scenarios, expose where Oracle needs the deal, and set the sequence and timing. Quarter-end and fiscal year-end become your bargaining power instead of your deadline.
We support or lead the table, hold the discount and term concessions, and document the result so it survives the next renewal. Where a ULA is involved, we tie it to our ULA exit and ULA renewal analysis.
