LiGenius –
Oracle licensing and consulting services
LiGenius Solutions AG is a Swiss company, founded by experienced management, consultation and software development professionals specializing in Oracle software asset management.
As professional Oracle licensing consultant, we were not able to find a SAM tool on the market that meets all requirements for a complete and smart Oracle license analysis and optimisation. That’s what we’re here to change!
The internal beta testing for our first product, the GOT4DB tool for comprehensive analysis of Oracle databases, began in summer 2021. The software will be available soon as Software-as-a-Service or on-premise solution for both, individual customers and infrastructure service providers. Subscribe to our newsletter to be the first to know once we make our solution available to the public.
Our motivation
As one of the world’s largest software companies, Oracle has a wide range of products in its portfolio. These are licensed according to a number of varying metrics.
Most Oracle customers find themselves incapable of finding their way through this jungle of licensing rules without help. And in negotiations or audits, they are exposed and put into the position of David against the “Goliath” that is Oracle.
The financial risk for users of Oracle products, whether due to under-licensing or poor contract design, is enormous. Users therefore need license management for their chosen Oracle software that gives reliable results, can flexibly accommodate individual contract terms and deliver meaningful information and optimisation recommendations that are founded on a thorough root-cause analysis.
LiGenius is your partner of choice when it comes to experience and tool based consulting services. we provide our clients with personal, fast and individual support they can rely upon.
Our vision and mission
We are clearing a pathway through the Oracle licensing jungle so that every customer can find their way to the right licenses, without risk, without over-payment and without headaches.
We will be the provider-of-choice for smart software asset management tools that support Oracle license management, complementing our SAM portfolio with consulting services to support our clients in defining and implementing optimization.
We believe in and promote partnership.
We add to customer benefit through innovation and up-to-the-minute information and promote communication between our clients.
Our team
Our team has many years of expertise in the Oracle environment from both, license management perspective and the technical infrastructure that the Oracle software is running on.
