How pricing works

No fixed price list — because no two Java estates are alike.

Your Oracle Java exposure depends on your headcount, your deployment sprawl, and which license each instance falls under. We scope every engagement and give you a fixed, written quote before any work starts. Three pricing models cover everything we do.

Fixed fee

Java Compliance Assessment

Fixed project fee

A one-time, scoped fee based on the size of your estate. You know the full cost before we begin.

  • Full Java SE deployment discovery
  • License classification: BCL, OTN, NFTC
  • Quantified exposure report

The economics

Advisory fees are a fraction of what is at stake.

Oracle's Java SE Universal Subscription carries a list rate of $15.00 per employee per month — charged on total headcount, not the number of people who actually use Java. For a 5,000-employee company that is $900,000 a year.

Against numbers like that, the question is rarely whether advisory pays for itself. Across 340+ engagements we have returned $180M+ in client savings on Oracle Java, at an average audit claim reduction of 68%.

We will tell you, before you commit, whether an engagement is likely to pay for itself. If it is not, we will say so.

Pricing questions

Before you ask.

Do you charge for an initial conversation?

No. The first call to understand your situation and scope a possible engagement is free and carries no obligation.

How is a fixed fee calculated?

Primarily by the size and complexity of your Java estate — the number of instances, environments, and license types in play. You receive a single written quote with no hidden extras.

What does the audit defence guarantee cost?

Audit defence is priced per engagement and includes the money-back guarantee at no extra charge. If we cannot reduce Oracle's claim, our fees are refunded.

Are you cheaper than going direct to Oracle?

We are not an Oracle reseller, so we do not sell licenses at all. Our role is to reduce what you pay Oracle — and our fee is set so that, in the large majority of cases, it is a fraction of the saving.
