The pipeline

Three stages. One Effective License Position.

Every entitlement and usage record passes through the same reconciliation process. Contracts, scans, and assessments go in. An audit-ready ELP comes out.

OEM matches every entitlement to its deployment footprint per product and metric. Contracts and scans line up; nothing slips through because the paperwork was filed in three different places.

The output is a per-product Effective License Position with a financial bottom line. Shortfalls, surpluses, and accidental features are surfaced with the exact processor counts attached.

What you get

Position. Defense. Coverage. Detection.

Four capabilities that turn fragmented Oracle paperwork and scans into a defensible license position.

Core

Effective License Position

Entitled quantities reconciled against actual usage per Oracle product and metric. Net position rolled up to the contract and the dollar.

Audit defense

Every figure traces back to its source contract and scan. When Oracle LMS shows up, your defensible position is already written.

Full Database coverage

Editions, Options, and Management Packs reconciled in one pipeline: EE and SE2, Partitioning, RAC, Active Data Guard, Advanced Compression, Tuning Pack, Diagnostics Pack, and the rest of the lineup.

Accidental usage detection

Surfaces features detected in usage scans with no matching entitlement. Diagnostics Pack on a DBA shell. Partitioning on a single table. The kind of thing Oracle audits live for.

ELP Insights

Score. Quantify. Prioritize.

OEM does not stop at reconciliation. It scores every position against contract terms, flags financial exposure, and writes the priority moves for your next true-up or audit response.

Acquire 20 EE processor licenses or shrink the deployment footprint

Stop Diagnostics Pack usage on 8 procs, or true up before next scan

Right-size RAC deployment to match entitled processor counts

01

Net position per product

Entitled, used, and reconciled position for every Oracle product and metric in scope. Processors, NUPs, and applications all roll up consistently.

02

Full Oracle Database stack

Editions, every licensable Option, and every Management Pack reconciled in the same pipeline. One position across the whole Oracle Database estate, not just the headline product.

03

Source lineage

Every number on the ELP traces back to the contract clause and scan row it came from. No spreadsheet archaeology when an auditor asks where a figure originated.

04

Accidental usage flagged

Features used without an entitlement get their own column with exact processor counts. Surface them before Oracle's audit team does.

05

Optimization recommendations

Priority moves ranked by financial impact. Buy, stop, or right-size, with the dollar value of each action sitting next to it.
