“We recently installed a new application which ran on Oracle but was unsure how to correctly license the environment. As a result, we engaged with Xynomix to advise on how best to do so. Xynomix ran an Independent Oracle License Review, which gave us full visibility on our license compliance. They highlighted the restrictions around various license types, whilst also detailing how to avoid any pitfalls moving forward.”
