Overview

Oracle licensing complexity often stalls cloud initiatives. That’s why many enterprises begin their Oracle-to-AWS journey with a licensing assessment—to gain clarity, build a baseline for ROI, and reduce risk before migration even begins.

The AWS Optimization and Licensing Assessment (OLA) makes this process simple and typically fully funded by AWS. With hundreds of successful Oracle migrations and a 100% success rate, Apps Associates has helped enterprises move Oracle workloads to AWS with speed, clarity, and confidence.

In this executive session, we’ll:

  • Debunk Oracle licensing myths
  • Show how the AWS OLA reduces average compute costs by 36%
  • Highlight proven Oracle-to-AWS migration patterns—including why 95% of OLAs use Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP
  • Share real customer success stories you can learn from

You’ll walk away with a practical roadmap and the confidence to simplify licensing, optimize costs, and accelerate your Oracle-to-AWS journey.
