The Oracle Compliance Workbook is a free download that helps you map your Oracle estate and quantify exposure across database, options, Java and virtualization before an audit lands, when findings can arrive inflated 60 to 80 percent.

What the paper covers

Most exposure is invisible until Oracle measures it. The workbook gives you the same line by line view on your own terms: an inventory framework for entitlements and deployment, an options and packs evidence test, a Named User Plus minimum check, and a virtualization position you can defend against Oracle's partitioning policy.

  • An entitlement versus deployment inventory framework
  • An options and management packs evidence test
  • A Named User Plus minimum check against the metrics
  • A virtualization worksheet for the policy versus contract question
  • A ranked exposure register with the buyer move for each item

Who it is for

Written for CIOs, IT asset managers, procurement leads and general counsel who want a defensible Oracle position. Every figure is attributed, indicative figures are labelled, and contract dependent answers are flagged as contract dependent.

  • Built from the 2026 Oracle licensing mechanics
  • Every indicative figure is labelled as indicative
  • Contract dependent answers are flagged as contract dependent
