Many organisations consider entering ULAs, most commonly organisations experiencing periods of rapid growth. A
discount is a rare thing from Oracle, especially when it comes to licensing, so why are organisations jumping into
these long-term contracts?
In this guide, we will highlight the reasons for and against an organization choosing to look at an Oracle ULA,
including the tricks and traps that allow for Oracle to offer a rare saving opportunity.
What’s in this guide?
Support Level
In an Oracle ULA, you are locked into a lower level of support with no resolution SLA. Support Revolution customers
enjoy both a response and resolution SLA.
Licences
An Oracle ULA can often oversell you licences which can never be refunded or used in subsequent ULAs. On top of that,
you are still paying 22% of your license fees for support!
Flexibility
In ever-changing markets, an Oracle ULA locks you into a contract for years at a time. You are giving up your power to
negotiate with Oracle and giving up control of your roadmap.
