Acresso Announces License Optimization Packs for Oracle to its FLEXnet Manager Suite

Acresso Software has announced the addition of new License Optimization packs for Oracle (News - Alert) to its FLEXnet Manager suite to help enterprises maintain license compliances and maximize their return on their Oracle database and E-Business suite investments.

 

Acresso Software helps companies automate license usage monitoring, ensure compliance and optimize spending for thousands of applications across key business segments. Oracle is a widely used popular database.

 

Acresso has stated that a majority of Oracle’s customers are struggling to comply with the license agreements of their software because of Oracle’s extremely flexible deployment model and sometimes usage of software can exceed more than that was purchased unintentionally. This inevitably results in time-consuming audits and unexpected bills.

 

Now Acresso has upgraded its FLEXnet Manager suite to help businesses easily discover and inventory their deployment of Oracle databases and options as well as E-Business Suite application components to determine what is actually installed and used. The suite also can generate a report comparing a company’s actual Oracle deployment to its current license agreement.

 

Acresso says that FLEXnet Manager Suite addresses the complexity of discovering Oracle E-Business Suite application components, databases and options as well as the hardware profile, without having to deploy an agent. The suite offers a way to automate discovery and data collection and centralize reporting on Oracle instances across the company without having to coordinate with every administrator in the company.

 

By tracking the deployed Oracle instances FLEXnet helps to procure more detailed information such as usage metrics and license models. With the reports provided by the FLEXnet Manager suite IT managers can gain a complete understanding of their organization’s actual licensing needs and empower procurement with data to support fact-based contract negotiations, avoid the excess costs of over-licensing and make informed decisions regarding support renewals.

 

"IT organizations need to pro-actively monitor their use of Oracle Database and E-Business in order to prevent audit problems, avoid unnecessary spending, and closely align budgets with business needs," says Mark Bishof, President and Chief Executive Officer for Acresso. "Our FLEXnet Manager Suite automates that pro-active monitoring -- providing IT decision-makers with the complete, accurate, and up-to-date insight they need to maintain license compliance and keep their software costs under control."
