Audit process

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

Environments scanned

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.
