Meridian runs four buyer side engagements across the Oracle ULA lifecycle: certification, renewal negotiation, audit defense, and license assessment. Every one starts from an independent, evidence grade measurement of your true Oracle estate, and none of them carries a reseller conflict.
Meridian advises Oracle ULA holders. We are not an Oracle partner or reseller and take no compensation from Oracle, so our advice is accountable only to your outcome.
We maximize your defensible deployment count inside the certification window and convert it to perpetual entitlements, so you exit with everything you are owed and nothing you cannot defend. There is no fee for certification and support stays flat, so a larger certified number is free value.
When exit is not the right move, we model renew versus certify scenarios in hard numbers and negotiate terms, scope, and price from evidence rather than pressure. Renewal quotes are opening positions that typically move 20 to 40 percent.
Respond to an Oracle audit with a verified license position and a single point of contact. We manage scope, data, and findings so the conversation stays on your terms, including the post certification audit that often follows an exit.
An effective license position before Oracle builds theirs. Know exactly where you stand across databases, options, and middleware, and where the risk and the recovery sit, all measured privately and never shared with Oracle without your direction.
The right engagement depends on where the ULA clock sits. If your certification date is twelve to eighteen months out and you intend to exit, start with certification. If you are weighing whether to leave at all, a license assessment gives you the measured position the decision needs. If a renewal quote has landed, renewal negotiation turns an opening position into a defensible deal. If a letter from Oracle LMS or GLAS has arrived, audit defense takes priority over everything else.
Engagements are scoped to the estate and the decision in front of you. We do not publish a standard price because no two Oracle estates carry the same risk or the same recovery. Tell us your situation and we will scope it precisely.
Each engagement begins with an independent baseline. Each is conducted privately, under your control, and never shared with Oracle without your explicit direction. Each is delivered by specialists who have worked inside Oracle licensing and now sit only on the buyer side. The output is always the same in spirit: a number you can defend and a position that holds up under scrutiny.

Start with certification if you intend to exit within twelve to eighteen months, a license assessment if you are still deciding, renewal negotiation if a quote has arrived, and audit defense if Oracle LMS or GLAS has contacted you. Most clients begin with an assessment that informs the rest.
Yes. We are not an Oracle partner or reseller and receive no compensation from Oracle in any form. We have no incentive to steer you toward licenses, cloud commitments, or renewals. Our advice is accountable only to your outcome.
Engagements are scoped to your estate and the decision in front of you, so we price each one after a confidential review rather than publishing a standard figure. The recovery and the risk avoided are usually many times the advisory cost.
Book a confidential assessment and we will tell you, plainly, what is at stake and what we would do about it.
