We had an amazing outing at the Northern California Oracle Users’ Group (NoCOUG) Summer Conference on August 18, 2016. Held at the Chevron offices in San Ramon, California, the session brought in over 150 visitors from all over the SF Bay Area. Redwood Compliance LLC was present as a vendor and supporter of the event. We also presented an hour-long session on Oracle Licensing & Compliance.
We fielded questions and comments on all aspects of Oracle licensing, especially ULAs and Oracle in VMware. We also distributed educational material on the most common licensing topics. If you missed the event, you can download the literature we distributed below.

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.
