Navigating an Oracle audit presents significant challenges for organizations. The uncertainty and potential financial implications can severely disrupt operations and undermine budgets. We address these concerns with a proactive solution designed to manage Oracle audits effectively and maintain organizational stability.
For many Oracle customers, the anticipation of an audit raises concerns about unexpected expenses that can devastate budgets and destabilize operations. Non-compliance poses not only a financial risk but also threatens executive security and the integrity of corporate governance. Organizations frequently lack comprehensive awareness of their compliance status, exposing them to substantial penalties and operational disruptions.
Oracle’s complex licensing agreements contribute to significant operational uncertainty. Effectively managing these agreements is essential, yet many companies encounter difficulties as they scale and adapt their technology infrastructures, heightening the risk of compliance breaches.
Our Cloud Audit Defense initiative transforms the formidable challenge of an Oracle audit into a strategic opportunity. The program offers several key benefits:
Clients achieve an average annual savings of 34% on licensing costs. Through strategic license management and optimization, we ensures that licensing structures are both efficient and aligned with current organizational needs. This approach not only reduces expenses but also optimizes investments to support sustainable growth.
Our service extends beyond audit preparation. Proactive measures are implemented to identify and mitigate compliance risks before they escalate. This protection safeguards the organization’s financial stability and ensures uninterrupted operational continuity.
Managing the audit process can be exceedingly complex. Our team of former Oracle experts provides comprehensive support throughout the entire audit. Detailed reviews and analyses of Oracle’s assessments are conducted, and negotiations are handled on behalf of the client to achieve the most favorable outcomes, ensuring that you are not left to navigate intricate negotiations alone.
A thorough understanding of Oracle’s audit triggers and procedures is crucial for maintaining a proactive stance. Our Audit Defense programme provides detailed insights into the typical initiation and execution of Oracle audits:
Audit Triggers: Significant IT infrastructure changes, software upgrades, fiscal year-end activities, random selections, or discrepancies in routine license reviews can all initiate an audit.
Audit Notification: The process commences with an official notification outlining the audit’s scope, timeline, and objectives.
Data Collection: Oracle requires specific data, often necessitating detailed usage reports from servers.
Evaluation and Review: Oracle analyzes the data to identify discrepancies between licensed software and actual usage.
Report and Resolution: If non-compliance is identified, Oracle issues a report, and the organization must negotiate or acquire additional licenses to address the findings.
