Our Customers There are plenty of vendors that have come in and said, here is what you need to buy, before asking what I need. Aware gave me a look behind the vendor's curtain and provided a candid and honest approach, which involved discussing our environment, what we needed and where we were going. Aware not only helped me lay out those needs, but presented several options and roadmaps for what needed to be done. Mark Harwood, VP IT Paypal   Because of Oracle's complexity it is easy to get confused and know whether Oracle is interpreted the licensing in the most Optimal fashion. Aware was on the inside and knows Oracle from the inside out, therefore they can be a very effective advocate to understand how you are being assessed and determine the most optimal solution. As an executive I match the right task with the right expertise. Aware is far more suited then anyone else in our company to work with Oracle as our advocate. In the future, whenever we expand our licensing we will use Aware as our Oracle experts. George Northup, CFO LiveCapital   In the past, I didn t feel like a customer, said Talbot Hardy, V.P. Technology and Operations at Perfect Commerce. I felt like the vendor was taking advantage of us and even considered ending the relationship. Aware provided insight into what is driving the vendor and their sales processes, but more importantly, where we had negotiating leverage.
