What it means for a deal
Timing matters, but it is not automatic. What changes the outcome is how the deal is prepared and negotiated in the time available.
Where Deal IQ comes in
This page covers what has changed and where the cost sits. Turning that into a better price on your contract is the negotiation itself. Deal IQ has run 190+ Oracle negotiations covering $1.2B+ in contract value, with a network of 350+ former vendor sales, pricing and deal desk leaders that includes people who sold Oracle, and an Oracle licensing practice for audits and optimization. We negotiate directly with Oracle or behind the scenes with your team, and our fee comes from the savings.
