Compliance reporting is a critical function for any business, but it is especially Oracle database customers. During audits, Oracle LMS collects copious amounts of data on its users’ license usage. Data that cannot be collected and interpreted by clients themselves. Next, Oracle takes a stern view of anyone who might be – unknowingly – using its products without a valid license. With LicenseAudit, all companies deploying Oracle databases can ensure that the licensing is compliant with all relevant licensing rules. The report can also be used to track support spending on Oracle database products. In the hands of a knowledgeable user, the report is a powerful tool for negotiating the best possible terms for any given purchase.
