Event details
How to Avoid Hidden Licensing Pitfalls in Oracle Environments?
This presentation covers Oracle in application environments — one of the most misunderstood areas we see organizations navigate. Licensing complexity in these environments has grown significantly, and most organizations don't have full visibility into their exposure until it's too late. The gap between what an organization thinks they owe and what Oracle says they owe can be significant. We'll talk through how to close that gap before it becomes a problem.
What you'll learn
- How to establish a clear understanding of your Oracle deployment and license position
- How to identify gaps and savings opportunities
- How to assess your current audit readiness and strengthen your defensive position
