How a ULA engagement works

Every Meridian engagement follows four stages: an independent baseline, a strategy modeled in hard numbers, evidence led execution, and a protected position afterward. The sequence is the same whether you are certifying out, renewing, or defending an audit, because the evidence comes first in all three.

The method

Evidence first. Every decision earns its place.

A disciplined sequence that typically runs 6 to 12 weeks, well inside your certification window.

1 · Baseline

Independent, tool verified measurement of your true deployment and entitlements, with virtualization, options, packs, cloud, and disaster recovery all included.

2 · Strategy

We model exit versus renewal in hard numbers, quantify recovery and exposure, and set out the credible alternatives that give you leverage.

3 · Execute

Certify or negotiate from evidence. We prepare the counts, the certification letter, and the narrative, and sit at the table with you.

4 · Protect

We document the entitlements and monitor the estate so a future acquisition, cloud migration, or audit never erodes the position you secured.

Why teams trust the method

We sit on your side of the table. Only your side.

A

Genuinely independent

We resell nothing and take no vendor incentives. Our only commercial interest is the number you walk away with.

B

Built by ex Oracle licensing

Our advisors came from Oracle LMS, GLAS, and contracts. We know how the counts are built, because we used to build them.

C

Confidential by default

The baseline stays under your control and is never shared with Oracle without your direction.

Questions

What teams ask before they start.

A typical engagement runs 6 to 12 weeks, which fits inside a certification window. We prefer to start 9 to 12 months before the certification or renewal date so there is time to baseline the estate and resolve virtualization and cloud questions before the clock matters.

No. The baseline is conducted privately, under your control, and is never shared with Oracle without your explicit direction. Knowing your own position is precisely what protects you if an audit does arrive.
