Research firm Research firm Forrester has recognized software giant Oracle as a leader for its licensing and pricing strategies in the October 2007, “The Forrester Wave: Enterprise Apps Software Licensing and Pricing, Q4 2007,” report.
According to Forrester, “enterprise applications software licensing and pricing refers to the available user-based metrics, usage metrics, delivery and financing mechanisms, policy support for the enterprise software licensee bill of rights (LBoR), and overall software life-cycle costs related to the customer vendor experience in procuring software.”
Oracle's Global Pricing and Licensing organization is dedicated to establishing uniform corporate policies for Oracle's customers and partners, with overall objectives of implementing Oracle's pricing and licensing strategies worldwide. Oracle’s goal is to help customers and partners optimize their software investment by enhancing their understanding of Oracle's licensing and pricing practices.
Forrester’s R “Ray” Wang, Principal Analyst and author of the report, cites Oracle for its “strong support for most of the provisions in the enterprise software bill of rights” and a “wide range of user-based and usage-based metrics that meet the most complex customer requirements.”
For the purpose of this report, Forrester evaluated the licensing and pricing strategies of major enterprise applications vendors, across 97 different criteria grouped into three categories, including current offering, strategy, and market presence.
The report states, “Oracle should be considered by enterprises of all sizes for its leadership position, policy openness, and strong support for the enterprise software LBoR.”
“Oracle’s recent efforts to add consistent, simplified pricing across our popular Oracle E-Business Suite, JD Edwards, PeopleSoft and Siebel application lines is clearly resonating with our customer and partner base,” said Richard Allison, Oracle Senior Vice President.
“With unified, publicly available pricing and licensing information, we are helping our customers gain the insight and confidence needed to optimize their IT investments with Oracle.”
