Paliversity brings more than 200 years of Oracle-related experience, including expertise in Oracle Cloud and Java technologies, directly to your desktop or mobile.

The Oracle challenge

Doing business with Oracle is difficult and risky. Whether you are moving away from Oracle and trying to spend less, or you plan to spend more and use more Oracle Cloud services, Oracle does not make it easy for you.

Your challenge

Your organization is under constant pressure to negotiate better deals, reduce costs, and maintain compliance with your Oracle contracts, particularly those involving Oracle Cloud solutions. You need access to trustworthy information so you can take control of your Oracle business relationship and lead your organization’s digital transformation.

Why did we launch Paliversity?

When Palisade Compliance was launched in 2011 there was very little information available online for Oracle customers around licensing, compliance, negotiations, and cost containment. Over the last decade we’ve witnessed an explosion of blogs, videos, and paid Oracle certification services offering such materials. Unfortunately, almost all of this material is incomplete, inaccurate, or one-sided. What’s worse is that some companies are charging fees for this sub-optimal training.

Our mission is to “Empower, Defend, and Liberate” Oracle customers wherever you are in the world. To support this, we make our Paliversity training materials available to every Oracle customer. With Paliversity, you have no concerns about the accuracy or impartiality of the material. Palisade Compliance is 100% independent of Oracle.

Our Oracle training courses online and on-demand

Whether you are in vendor management, procurement, software asset management, legal, or an executive looking for answers about Oracle Cloud, Paliversity can help you succeed.
