With our audit output you can quickly and easily show LMS that you are in compliance so they move on to the next guy!
Four steps to assure you are safe from a mountain of fees and months of headaches
Schedule Oracle Soft Audit
We will discuss your database environment, number and type of servers as well as the network footprint to determine an audit sizing estimate.
Confirm Audit Schedule
Once Audit terms are accepted, we will gather specific information about network, servers and IP addresses.
Perform Scans & Create Report
We set up scans to run in the background without bothering your employees or impacting system performance. The audit process creates reports and a Software Audit Artifact. This is then compared against your actual licensed install base.
Provide Optimal Licensing and Mitigation Plan
We provide a detailed plan of which products are needed and suggestions on Oracle licensed machines or hardware consolidations. We will also provide you with tactics to reduce the license foot print and can provide licenses and Oracle devices.

Cornerstone uses Oracle Audit Equivalent tools to scan your environment in a non-intrusive way to extract data for audit review.
• Analysis of hosts on the network
We begin with a full, comprehensive analysis of all hosts on the network based on IP address and identify all Oracle products your company uses.
• Scans at a database level
Our database-level scans identify each individual Oracle database at a system level, ensuring that we recognize all of the databases used in your business.
• Identification of Products installed
By identifying each individual installed Oracle product, we can provide you with a comprehensive overview of the licenses you need and compare them to your current licenses to ensure compliance.
• Identification of feature sets turned on
Not only can we identify products, but we also scan your individual Oracle feature sets, to ensure that you are compliant with any additional licensing needed for a particular Oracle database and product features.
• Statistical information on product & feature activation/use
Once your audit is complete, we provide you with an Audit Artifact report on the use of individual Oracle products and features. Not only does this give you a detailed view of your install base, but it can help you identify minimally-used or unused Oracle products and services.
• Comparison review of install findings vs. purchase history
A comparison is then performed between the actual install base vs your license purchase history
• Recommendations for license gaps, Isolation/consolidation options
The last step is creation of a comprehensive analysis and recommendations to mediate any license gaps while optimizing the Oracle spend through isolation and consolidation strategies
All Physical and Virtual Environments are scanned across your entire network regardless of local. This process can take from a day to over a week, depending on the on your environment's size.
