License Audits Can Work to Your Advantage!
Remend’s countless interactions with Oracle GLAS (formerly LMS), Legal, and Sales demonstrate that audits are neither mysterious nor worthy of fear when properly managed. In fact, it is possible to turn the tables on Oracle and use the audit process to optimize total cost of ownership.
Oracle knows most companies are conflict-avoidant with strategic providers. In reality, all the major software publishers have a set of leverage points that empower incremental revenue in the absence of defensible value. You can mitigate most of your financial risk by focusing on these leverage points.
Remend delivers value by executing the following steps
Create an understandable license report by measuring usage against licensing.
Assess a shortfall within the context of your longer-term goals rather than set aside your goals to appease Oracle.
Create a negotiation strategy that integrates your terms, timing, and business goals.
Engage Oracle to drive towards the outcome you seek.
Let Remend Help
The truth is Remend considers the audit defense market akin to ambulance chasing. Nonetheless, we are good at it and customers need someone to keep—or put—Oracle in its cage. Our goal is to commoditize the audit defense market by pre-empting and overseeing formal license reviews. Remend Audit Defense is a small add-on to many of our other services. Audits can work to your advantage despite how they turn out for most companies.
