  6. CONTROLLING COMPLEXITY • Your challenges We understand that maintaining oversight of your Oracle assets can be a challenge, but can produce the following strategic benefits: • More cost-effective management of your infrastructure and IT resources • Gain a solid platform to drive business transformation initiatives • Make better informed business strategy and IT investment decisions • Avoid the risks and unscheduled costs that come from unexpected audits • Ensure you are deriving the maximum value from your Oracle investment

  7. CONTROLLING COMPLEXITY BUSINESS INVESTMENT IT remains a major component of the overall financial budget • Licensing challenges – a question of cause and effect BUSINESS DEMAND delivering new capabilities is essential to remaining competitive UNCOORDINATED SPEND IT deployment still remains a process lacking any central integration EXCESSIVE COMPLEXITY caused by IT consolidation, M&A, outsourcing and multiple licensing rules A LACK OF CONTROL the result is a lack of visibility and actionable insight into the IT estate THE RESULT unmitigated risk │ unscheduled cost │ restricted it efficiency BUSINESS IMPACTpoor use of IT and financial resources, unscheduled audits and unplanned costs

  8. WHAT COMPLEXITY MEANS TO YOU But complexity can affect your organization in a myriad of ways: • Executives are denied detailed insights into the condition of their Oracle deployments • There is a risk of falling out of compliance and unscheduled liabilities • Your IT resources are used inefficiently – both in the actual licenses and how your people manage them • You financial resources are used inefficiently – with ROI from IT spend reduced, and future investment plans compromised • The impact on the license estate – inefficient IT

  9. THE RESULTS OF COMPLEXITY “Six out of ten admit that they don’t monitor software usage and usage patterns, which could undermine their efforts. Perhaps more worryingly, only 12% have responsibility for monitoring the usage of cloud-based products” Source: EY survey – “Software Compliance without tears • The facts “Over a half admitted they had software waste and more worryingly, nearly one third (29%) admitted that they have no way to quantify the problem.” Source: Online survey conducted by Opinion Matters, an independent research company, in March 2011.
