The OpenJDK Migration Field Guide.

A practical guide for the leaders who want to leave Oracle Java cleanly and cut the per employee bill. Estate discovery, workload triage, distribution choice, a worked exposure model, and the residual negotiation, in one document you can act on.

Trade a work email for the full guide. We will send you the field guide and, if you want it, The Java Audit Brief, our weekly Oracle Java intelligence dispatch.
