Why CCL?• BSA, SIIA, FAST• Providing a voice for licensing buyers• Licensing is complicated:
1. Absurd License metrics2. Dubious selling tactics3. Confusing terms that change too
quickly

OracleKey issues: 1. The customer does not feel autonomous2. They receive inconsistent messages from Oracle3. They feel that Oracle realigns the goal posts to favour revenue streams over
customer requirements.
CCL Recommendations for Positive Change: 4. One voice from Oracle5. A licensing knowledgebase6. Greatly improved communications7. Re-engineering risk8. SAM Evangelism9. Audit Clarity10. Strategic focus

IBM6. Inconsistencies across IBM terms and conditions7. Poor IBM internal communications, auditor is lead expert on licensing 8. KPMG behaviour during audits9. Sub-capacity licensing and real value 10. Unpicking IBM bundling to ensure compliance

basics – Microsoft yet to properly address or communicate properly (Data sovereignty, data security, cloud exit strategies)
