For most large companies today, a commitment to the Oracle Application Suite represents both a statement of efficiency, but also a potentially expensive ongoing licensing obligation. The complexity of Oracle’s licensing models makes understanding exactly what the users require to get the job done an essential first step in any analysis of how to limit the exposure of an Oracle audit, while maintaining compliance at all times. Unlike many software vendors, Oracle tends to provide licenses customized to individual organizations. Such a strategy makes full automation of Software Asset Management for Oracle products almost impossible. However probably the most important aspect, from the customer perspective, of accurately designing these licenses can be automated; specifically, understanding precisely which Oracle application systems are being used, when and by whom.
