Oracle E-Business Suite (OEBS) and Database Optimization in Internet Holding

Background

A major international internet holding requested assistance in controlling and optimizing all Oracle software licenses, including E-Business Suite (OEBS), Database, WebLogic, Hyperion, and Oracle BI.

The company used OEBS to support e-services and manage financial and HR data across multiple regions.

Challenge

The customer operated numerous e-services aggregating partners across industries such as transport, pharma, food delivery, e-commerce, and finance.

Rapid growth made license cost control critical, especially with mixed license metrics and extensive OEBS customizations.

Actions

  • Usage assessment — Evaluated OEBS, Database, WebLogic, Hyperion, and BI usage as Oracle would do, identifying compliance gaps
  • OEBS clean-up — Removed redundant users and limited access to essential modules per Oracle’s formal methodology
  • Usage optimization — Delivered actionable recommendations to minimize compliance risk and cost
  • OEBS mapping report — Prepared a detailed mapping aligning custom modules with Oracle’s standards for future transparency

Results

  • Reduced OEBS licensing from USD 88.5M to USD 70M
  • Database and options licensing dropped from USD 255M to USD 166M
  • Eliminated USD 8.4M shortfall for other Oracle products (WebLogic, Hyperion, BI)

We express our gratitude to the contractor for the successful project execution and expert support during the Oracle licensing optimization.
