Oracle Cost Saving - Case Study
Introduction:
Many Oracle users obtained licenses in the month May in previous years. This since May is the last month of Oracle's Fiscal Year. Because of this your support maintenance renewal proposal(s) are coming in shortly. This since Oracle sends these proposals typically 3 months in advance. What should you do? Stop paying too much money for the support maintenance on your Oracle licenses. Unnecessary spend is something we see almost every day at the vast majority of our Oracle customers.
Customer Case Study:
One of our NAMER based customers had an Unlimited License Agreement which we helped to certify last year. The fixed annual support maintenance cost for this ULA was 2.875K USD. On top this premier support contract, the customer needed to have an Extended Support contract.
- Oracle quoted initially for its premier support maintenance: 2..990 K USD
- Oracle quoted initially for its extended support maintenance: 477 K USD
After the delivery of our services, the customer entered into a premier support contract for 2.875K USD (no indexation) and an Extended Support contract for 40K USD. Total cost savings achieved: 547 K USD. Both contracts where entered into for 12 months (and the customer was not forced to enter into a contract for 36 or 24 months as nowadays typically proposed by Oracle support to "waive" the indexation).
