Break free

Who we are

The Break Free Alliance is a source of information and support for organisations wishing to transition away from an Oracle database environment – or ‘break free’ from Oracle.

The resources available on this platform are brought to you by Palisade Compliance and WARDY IT Solutions and cover all aspects of making the move – including legal, financial and technical.

How we can Help

CONTRACTUAL

Most Oracle customers simply do not know what is in their contracts, how to extract the most value from them, and how to identify the hidden risks. Many organisations do not even have copies of all their Oracle contracts. Palisade Compliance has developed a contract assessment methodology that uncovers these risks and opportunities, sheds light on your Oracle entitlement, and offers guidance on how you should proceed with Oracle
