Oracle Java audits intensified in 2026

Cut your Java bill 95 to 100 percent.

Oracle prices Java per employee, not per user. Move the slider to estimate what the Universal Subscription costs at list, and what a defended outcome looks like once we rebuild the evidence and renegotiate.

Six ways we cut your Java exposure.

01

Java Audit Defense

From the first LMS letter to settlement. We scope it, rebuild the evidence, and challenge the claim.

02

Renewal Negotiation

A twelve month runway that beats the escalator and the true up before they lock in.

03

Employee Metric Defense

Who counts and who does not. We build a defensible population and dispute Oracle's number.

04

OpenJDK Migration

Move what can leave to a free distribution and shrink the residual Oracle envelope.

05

Exposure Modeling

Know your real number before Oracle does, across every band and entity.

06

Contract Trap Removal

Strip the minimum floor, the true up, and the escalator out of the order document.

Our guarantee

We save you, or you pay us nothing.

We are confident because the employee metric almost always overstates what you owe. If our defense does not reduce your Oracle Java cost, we reimburse our service fee in full. The risk sits with us, not with you.

  • No reduction, no fee, we pay our service fee back
  • Gainshare option means you pay only from verified savings
  • We never take vendor money, only your side of the table
How we are paid

Two ways to engage, no downside.

Engagement A

Fixed Fee

From $18,000. Agreed up front, and backed by our guarantee.
  • One predictable number
  • Best when the scope is known
  • Reimbursed if we do not save you
Engagement B

Gainshare

A share of verified savings or avoided exposure. No retainer.
  • You pay only from what we remove
  • Reduce nothing, owe nothing
  • No risk to you, by design
Executive reviewing a settled Oracle Java position

"Oracle opened at a number that assumed our entire workforce. They rebuilt the evidence and we settled at a fraction of it, with the back charges gone."

CIO, Fortune 500 manufacturer

Tell us the real numbers.

Fixed fee or gainshare, both backed by our guarantee. We sit between you and Oracle and we never take vendor money.
