LISA Training Expanded with Brand New Oracle Modules

We’re pleased to announce that our LISA training platform has a new addition – Oracle licensing training.

In conjunction with long-time ITAM Review collaborator – and internationally renowned Oracle consultant – Richard Spithoven of B-Lay, our bite-sized, self-paced Oracle training covers topics including:

  • Oracle Processor licensing
  • Oracle Named User Plus licensing
  • Licensing Oracle in a Disaster Recovery environment
  • Licensing Oracle in IBM LPAR environments
  • Licensing Oracle in VMware environments (Coming Soon)
  • Determining your Oracle entitlements

Oracle licensing is well known as a complex area, and even what seems a small error can lead to non-compliance of millions of dollars. Having comprehensive licensing training, delivered by an expert, available at any time of day (or night) will be a big help to making the journey towards compliance much easier – and much less expensive!

Equally, having a good understanding of Oracle licensing may enable you to streamline your licensing position, helping to reduce your support and renewal costs.

As Oracle licensing changes, LISA will too. We’re committed to keeping our training as up to date as possible, so your organisation can understand any implications with Oracle’s new rules and updates.

Who is it for?

Whether you’re new to ITAM, new to Oracle as a vendor or a seasoned pro looking for a refresher, LISA can help.

 

Or perhaps you’d like other parts of your business to have a better understanding of how their projects may impact your Oracle licensing position? Our quick, easy to digest modules make it easier for “non-ITAM” members of the organisation – such as Enterprise Architects and Database Administrators – to understand their impact on the overall compliance position’.
