Case Study: ÖBB‑Business Competence Center GmbH achieves optimized Oracle licensing, compliance and cost savings with Oracle License Management Services

ÖBB-BCC Optimizes Licensing Structure with Oracle LMS

ÖBB‑Business Competence Center (ÖBB‑BCC) manages IT and licensing for ÖBB Group, a major Austrian mobility provider that moves 459 million passengers and 111 million tons of freight annually. ÖBB‑BCC oversees eight data centers with 1,544 virtual and 1,040 physical servers but lacked detailed, organization‑wide visibility into actual Oracle database and middleware usage, creating risks of under‑ or over‑licensing and compliance exposure.

Working with Oracle License Management Services, ÖBB‑BCC ran a structured audit and integrated automated Oracle discovery scripts into its asset‑management system, automating data transfer and analysis. The engagement closed licensing gaps, produced a documented assessment of required licenses, reduced average license costs, and strengthened collaboration and trust across the ÖBB Group while ensuring ongoing Oracle license compliance.
