In today’s evolving IT landscape, organizations are under increasing pressure to manage their software assets efficiently while maximizing the value of their investments. Oracle’s Global Licensing Advisory Services (GLAS) supports customers in understanding and leveraging the full potential of their Oracle Unlimited License Agreements.

Many organizations fail to fully utilize or understand their ULA entitlements, leading to under-deployment and missed opportunities for cost savings and operational efficiency. GLAS steps in to close the gap with expert-driven and tailored recommendations.

Why it Matters

ULAs can deliver significant value–but only if organizations actively manage and monitor their deployments. Without proper visibility or strategy, customers risk:

  • Underutilization of entitlements, leaving money on the table
  • Inefficient architecture decisions due to uncertainty around ULA boundaries

Working with GLAS experts helps customers ensure that they are not only aware of these pitfalls, but also equipped to avoid them through proactive planning.

How GLAS delivers Value

GLAS engagements are consultative and data-driven. Experts collaborate with customers to conduct deep-dive data analyses, providing clear, actionable guidance. The process includes:

  • Usage Review: An inventory of current deployments across business units
  • Gap Analysis: Identifying unused entitlements and expansion opportunities
  • Renewal/Certification Readiness: Supporting accurate and strategic decisions
  • Roadmap Development: Suggesting architectural changes or migrations that can unlock additional value.

Oracle GLAS is more than an Advisory team – it is a strategic partner in driving digital transformation through smarter software asset management. Global Licensing Advisory Services empowers customers to not just manage their ULAs, but to maximize their strategic impact.

Organizations that engage with GLAS gain clarity, control, and confidence as they plan their Oracle journeys beyond the ULA lifecycle.
