Ten anonymised files. Each shows the claim Oracle opened with, the position we built, and the settlement that closed it. Client names are removed; the figures and the method are real.
Across these engagements the pattern is consistent: Oracle opens with an aggressive aggregate number, and a precise, contract grounded response brings it down by a large margin. The cases below span database options audits, Java SE Universal Subscription proposals, ULA certification, WebLogic option packs, OCI commitments, and VMware partitioning disputes. Read them alongside the Oracle licensing white papers that explain the underlying mechanics, and the buyer side services that deliver these outcomes.
Every figure here reflects a settled or certified position, not a projection. To discuss whether a similar reduction is achievable on your estate, request a consultation.
A $24M options and packs claim across forty seven database instances, restructured and settled with corrected entitlements.
A European bank turned a $9M Java proposal into a $1.4M deal by pricing real users rather than total headcount.
A multi entity retailer certified its full Oracle deployment at ULA exit, locking in a perpetual entitlement valued at $48M.
An energy group recovered $8.2M in support credit after a user definition review exposed years of overcounted named users.
A healthcare provider separated licensed features from embedded use, reducing a $12M middleware audit claim by three quarters.
A telecommunications group cut a $14M OCI commitment to $6.5M by aligning the commit to real consumption and BYOL.
A pharmaceutical group cut a $6.4M BI audit claim to $1.9M by correcting named user versus processor metric selection.
A public sector body cut an $18M database audit claim to $4.2M by defending its VMware position against full cluster licensing.
An insurance group cut an $11.5M Java SE Universal Subscription claim by right sizing the employee metric and retiring legacy Java.
A technology firm cut a $16M cloud migration claim to $4.5M by correcting BYOL conversion ratios and reshaping an OCI credits commitment.
Most Oracle claims contain the same recoverable overstatements. A scoping call identifies where yours sit and what they are worth. Buyer side only, nothing shared with Oracle.
