Oracle licensees are spending a small fortune on support for their Oracle investments, while shrinking IT budgets and limited resources are compelling them to slash their support costs by:
- Deferring major upgrades
- Adopting open-source options
- Switching to third-party support
Understanding Oracle licensing is crucial to Oracle license optimization. Rimini Street surveyed 400-plus customers to find the answers to Oracle licensing questions and gain insights into the challenges and priorities impacting their roadmap strategies.
Hear the results of the survey in this exclusive audio webcast, hosted by IDG Digital Content Director Tom Schmidt. Contact Rimini Street to learn more about how independent, third-party support can enhance Oracle license optimization.
