Need help with negotiating Oracle support?

[OracleContract1o1 @ITAMsourcing]

Listening to Oracle Q3 earnings call, to quote Larry "Java had a very good quarter"

[OracleContract1o1 @ITAMsourcing]

If you get audited by Oracle, expect a much different process than previously. #oracle #license #itam

[OracleContract1o1 @ITAMsourcing]

Java is delayed. Rumours we have is that some of Oracles largest customers have voiced their concerns over the hasty change.

[OracleContract1o1 @ITAMsourcing]

@holgermu @awscloud so now they are into the hardware and on premise business.

[OracleContract1o1 @ITAMsourcing]

@GregHolmes007 If not, it will be when the vendors have them in the cloud and the customers have no choice but to accept the price hikes.

[OracleContract1o1 @ITAMsourcing]

@LicenseFortress acting emotionally.

[OracleContract1o1 @ITAMsourcing]

@jo_liversidge @Research_MelA nice job! Is this an updated version of old release? Not much has happened in the world of on premise agreements when it comes to Oracle in the past 3-5 years. :)

[OracleContract1o1 @ITAMsourcing]

@OraLicencePro it will always be cheaper if you have less than 50 users 😎

@UpperEdge @Adam_Mansfield_ great read, thanks for posting

Oracle Technology sales are only compensated 75% on every dollar. When selling cloud its 3,5x more. If you consume its 5x more. #negotiation

[OracleContract1o1 @ITAMsourcing]

Oracle is keeping stocks afloat with huge buyback program. Oracle cloud - IaaS and PaaS - can be an opportunity for onprem customers who is looking optimize.

Oracle has 6 different ways of customizing the audit clause - they are all standard at Oracle. Ask your sales rep to find out how to build a stronger agreement. Sales reps are not compensated on t&cs.

[OracleContract1o1 @ITAMsourcing]

Keep track of currency rates and the different pricelists. Sometimes if you point out that there is a 10% price difference due to currency fluctations. Oracle can grant you the right to purchase in another currency. #Oracle #procurement

[OracleContract1o1 @ITAMsourcing]

You can split a support CSI by either 1a) migrating to a new license metric 2) doing a license assignment . That way you remove unused software and can reduce Oracle support fees

[OracleContract1o1 @ITAMsourcing]

If you purchase new licenses for 1m $ did you know that you can ask for a 200k $ reduction in existing support? 5:1 ratio #oracle #spend #reduction

[OracleContract1o1 @ITAMsourcing]

Why is Oracles default position that you cant certify ULA deployments in third party cloud? The max they will approve is to allow you to certify all deployments #dontgiveup #contractnegotiation

[OracleContract1o1 @ITAMsourcing]

Did you know that you can ask Oracle insert a clause into your Oracle Agreement that you want the audit to be done by an independent auditor? #lowhangingfruits

[OracleContract1o1 @ITAMsourcing]

Oracles Strategy for Technology has been to sell ULAs to lock in support stream. Which they have had great success. But are they now desperate in positioning Perpetual ULAs? Today we reviewed a 1,4m $ PULA with DB options and WLS. #Oracle #Contracts #vendor

@jo_liversidge @InterConTheO2 @RollsRoyce @LloydsBankBiz We already got tickets! looking forward to the event.
