Vendor audits are commercial events dressed as compliance exercises. The scripts, tools, and interpretations are engineered to surface exposure. Our audit defense practice runs the entire response — from initial engagement letter to final settlement — with the objective of resolving the audit without a punitive true-up.
01
What we do
Manage all vendor communications, control the data provided, interpret contract clauses in your favor where they are ambiguous, and structure the settlement as a forward-looking commercial deal rather than a back-looking penalty.
02
Vendors we defend against
Oracle (Database, Java, Middleware), SAP (indirect access, digital access), Microsoft (SPLA, EA true-up), IBM (sub-capacity, PVU), Autodesk, Adobe, and specialist ISVs.
Same seat. Every time.
Vantage Decisions only ever represents the buyer. No vendor commissions, no reseller kickbacks — just leverage.
