Scott & Scott, LLP represents clients in audits of Oracle software, both those conducted pursuant to an Oracle licensing inquiry and those conducted for internal purposes. A business should proceed with caution when analyzing its Oracle licensing status, especially if it receives an inquiry from Oracle requesting that it complete an Oracle Server Worksheet. Responding to the inquiry without consulting a licensing expert and carefully evaluating the relevant license agreements can result in increased licensing fees, possible audits by Oracle, and penalties.
Scott & Scott’s experienced attorneys can help your company navigate Oracle’s license management and audit processes. We can interpret your existing license agreements, help you complete an Oracle Server Worksheet, make compliance recommendations, and assist you with resolving licensing disputes. In responding to an Oracle licensing inquiry, we will work with Oracle to identify a mutually agreeable framework for the response and to ensure that you know how the audit materials will be used and what Oracle expects to see in your response. In addition, regardless of whether your company is under investigation by Oracle, you have an independent obligation to achieve software compliance in your business. If you want to avoid the cost and risk of an unsuccessful audit, the time to achieve compliance is now.
The lawyers and technology consultants at Scott & Scott, LLP have extensive experience helping clients with software license compliance. We will help you develop a strategy designed to provide value while achieving your business objectives.
