Four hundred installs of Oracle Database
is the start of the work.
CerteroX shows exactly what Oracle software you are using and what you are entitled to, so an Oracle audit or renewal is settled on your evidence.
That gap is where the audit finding lives.

Measurement data

Publisher verification
Oracle LMS/GLAS verified
Verified by Oracle License Management Services. Oracle’s audit team can accept data from Certero during an official audit, as an alternative to installing Oracle’s own measurement tools.

Oracle audits are won or lost on the detail.
Oracle charges for optional features, processing capacity and the hardware its software could run on, not just for installations. A single feature switched on years ago can create a large liability. CerteroX tracks these details continuously, and Oracle’s own audit team can accept its data.
- Cost
Buy nothing you already own.
Existing entitlements are applied before anything new is purchased, and unused features are identified so they can be switched off.
- Risk
Measurement Oracle accepts.
Certero is verified by Oracle License Management Services, so its data can be used in an official audit instead of Oracle’s own scripts.
- Effort
Audit evidence as a standard report.
The figures Oracle asks for are produced on demand, rather than reconstructed by your team under deadline.
