When was the last time you actually reviewed your Oracle contract?
Most Oracle customers think of their contracts as simple purchasing documents, a formality that allows them to use Oracle software. Oracle knows this, and optimized its contract process based on the strengths and weaknesses of their customers’ procurement and negotiating processes. With every consolidation, new purchase, migration, or contract change, there is an opportunity for Oracle to reverse what customers previously negotiated. Also, Oracle has made more than 90 acquisitions in the last 10 years, providing substantial opportunity for Oracle to improve the legacy terms and conditions in its favour. As a result, most Oracle customers are surprised by what their contracts actually contain. This is why any Oracle negotiation, cost-reduction exercise or new technology deployment must start with what is allowed by the customer contract. Oracle often overlooks this, insisting their business practices trump these contracts.
