WOODBRIDGE, N.J., December 14, 2009 - Miro Consulting, Inc. lends its Oracle licensing expertise to the The Advisory Council Inc. (TAC), an organization which provides objective IT business advice.

Bringing a wealth of Oracle and Microsoft licensing experience, Miro Consulting acts as client advocates pre, post and during software vendor negotiations and audits. The Advisory Council is comprised of a group of top IT thought leaders and experts who provide decision-making support services to IT executives, helping organizations to form action plans around IT management issues. Miro's focus on vendor licensing issues and TAC's broader programs create synergistic offerings that can lower the total cost of ownership (TCO).

"Miro's Oracle licensing expertise is second to none, and our clients are often looking for ways to optimize their IT spend and manage their enterprise vendor software licensing agreements," said Peter Schay, President and CEO, The Advisory Council. "We are extremely pleased to be able to offer Miro's expertise to our clients."

Through this newly formed alliance, TAC clients will be able to spend a consultative phone hour with an Oracle or Microsoft licensing analyst from Miro Consulting before making a determination on whether to engage Miro's services fully.

"It's a win-win situation for clients of TAC and Miro Consulting," said Scott D. Rosenberg, CEO and founder, Miro Consulting. "TAC clients will be able to have a 'taste' of our offerings before fully committing to our services, while TAC's breadth of expertise will complement our services. Our clients and prospects often ask us to recommend consultants and products beyond our Oracle and Microsoft core services, and The Advisory Council can provide that expertise."
