Oracle ULA Certification
Maximize value. Expert Advocacy. Long-term compliance.
Schedule Free ConsultationNever Buy More Oracle Software Again
With the proper management of an Oracle Unlimited License Agreement (ULA), your organization can gain enough software to sustain its Oracle technology environment for years—potentially forever—without needing additional licenses. However, poor planning, lack of tracking or misunderstanding the certification process often leads customers to unnecessarily extend or re-enroll in ULAs instead of exiting with fully maximized benefits.
Oracle’s ULA model offers unlimited deployment rights in exchange for pre-negotiated license and support fees with no true-up required at the end. While it’s marketed as a discount opportunity for large-scale software purchases, truly capitalizing on this requires foresight, strategy and expert execution.
Oracle Unlimited License Agreement (ULA) Certification
Oracle ULAs offer businesses an opportunity to deploy unlimited software within a defined term, but the certification process at the end of a ULA can be challenging. Oracle requires a certification letter that accurately reflects your deployed usage and supporting evidence to finalize your compliance.
Remend ensures this process is not only maximized to your benefit but also defended to acceptance by Oracle.
