Why Hire Us
Reduce Oracle Costs & Maintain License Compliance
Founded and led by the leading Oracle license expert and a former VP of Oracle Corporation. We have over 75 man years of Oracle license audit defense, contractual, negotiation and technical expertise. Accurate in discovery, precise in data analysis, granular understanding of Oracle policies are our strengths.
We are neither a partner of Oracle nor a re-seller of their licenses. We do not make money from Oracle. We are on the same side of the table as you. Our only goals are to reduce software costs and mitigate license compliance risks for our customers.
License deployment and compliance are sensitive matters. Customers have to safeguard this information from falling into wrong hands. We do not advertise customer names in any of our marketing collateral. References are provided only on demand and one-on-one basis after customer approvals.
We have worked with 240+ companies saving them between 30% – 100% of license exposures. Savings range from US$250k to US$60m per customer. Future license compliance risks have been made visible and mitigated. Every single client of ours is referenceable.

Client Testimonials That Speak Volumes!
From the moment I engaged with the Rythium team, I knew we were in capable hands.
We had been forced to renew our Oracle ULA once before and didn’t want to repeat the costly mistake without a capable team to help Oracle License Audit Defense. Rythium’s Consultants helped us navigate the compliance, counting and certification process successfully.

Frequently Asked Questions
We start with a confidential discovery call to understand your situation. We then run a baseline review covering entitlements, deployments, contracts, and support obligations. From that baseline we identify exposure, savings and negotiation levers. We then either deliver a focused project (audit, ULA, Java) or move into negotiation and engagement with Oracle on your behalf.
Engage us early, before Oracle creates urgency for you. The ideal triggers are:
• 6 to 18 months before ULA expiry,
• 6 to 12 months before a major renewal,
• Immediately on receipt of any audit notice, before signing any new Oracle contract,
• And any time Oracle starts asking unusual questions about your deployment or headcount.
A focused review on a single product line (Database, Java, EBS, Siebel) typically takes 4 to 8 weeks. A full Oracle estate baseline takes 8 to 12 weeks. ULA certifications and audit defenses run for the duration of the Oracle process, often 4 to 9 months. We agree timelines up front.
A documented deployment baseline, an entitlement and contract summary, an exposure report quantifying gaps and risks, prioritized recommendations, and where applicable a negotiation strategy and Oracle response pack. We also document everything in formats your internal SAM, IT, finance and legal teams can use long after the engagement ends.
We use our own discovery scripts and tooling, including our Euladox platform, to gather deployment data accurately and without exposing more than necessary to Oracle. Where Oracle’s LMS scripts must be run, we act as your agent to run the scripts. We review the output before anything is shared back, so nothing leaves your environment without expert review.
Most engagements are fixed-fee, scoped against a clearly defined deliverable. For example: audit defense, ULA certification, Java review, or a cost reduction project. For ongoing managed SAM services, we use a monthly retainer. We size and price every engagement against the savings or risk reduction we expect to deliver, so the business case is transparent.
No. We are not lawyers and we do not give legal opinions. We do interpret Oracle contracts, ordering documents, and policy documents in the context of how Oracle’s LMS team enforces them. We strongly recommend that clients combine our advisory input with their own legal counsel when contract language has material legal implications.
Yes, and these are often our most rewarding engagements. Proactive clients avoid the panic and pricing pressure of an active audit. We help them establish a clean baseline, fix latent compliance issues quietly, and prepare for the next Oracle conversation (renewal, ULA, Java letter) from a position of strength.
Three things:
• First, deep Oracle DNA: founded by a former Oracle VP. The senior management of Rythium has over 75 person-years of Oracle licensing experience.
• Second, no reseller conflict: we earn nothing from Oracle.
• Third, we go beyond reports. We run the audit, ULA, or negotiation alongside you, from start to close.
• Java audits and cost reduction,
• Oracle license audits,
• ULA renewal trap and certification,
• BYOL to AWS / Azure / Google,
• BYOL to OCI,
• E-Business Suite cloud migration,
• Oracle pricing negotiation, support cost reduction, and third-party support.
Each theme is a separate workstream, with its own contract levers and savings profile.
