In the third installment, we will cover two articles I wrote for the NoCOUG Journal.
In the first article, we do a deep-dive into Oracle’s licensing policy on licensing in third party cloud environments. We discuss the “Approved” and not-approved cloud vendors, Oracle programs covered by the Policy, and the implications for companies with ULA agreements.

The second article is devoted entirely to Oracle Cloud. We discuss BYOL and on-premise to Oracle Cloud license calculations, and take a high-level look at Oracle’s PaaS/IaaS/SaaS offerings (though since the writing of the article, Oracle has changed up the Oracle Cloud offerings, with new and/or renamed services). We also discuss the importance of the key contracts (the Cloud Services Agreement), cloud metrics and definitions, and key considerations around value and compliance when moving to Oracle Cloud.

I specialize in software licensing, IT cost management, and spend optimization. I help clients get the most value out of their IT investments while managing compliance risks. My career began at Deloitte & Touche LLP in the San Francisco/San Jose area, where I developed expertise in software license management around IBM, HP, Microsoft and other software vendors. I also assisted with SOX audits and business/IT controls. Later, I joined Oracle’s License Management Servers (LMS) group, performing license audits and contributing to the development of audit tools and methodologies.
