Visibility That Prevents Surprises

Oracle’s contracts, core factors, and option rules change constantly. One overlooked Feature Usage or vCPU count can add seven figures to an audit settlement. House of Brick’s Annual Oracle License Assessment pulls entitlement data, Opscompass usage metrics, and virtualization layouts into a single view—so you can resolve gaps, reclaim shelfware, and negotiate from a position of strength.
