Oracle releases Oracle Fusion Applications price list

Oracle fusion app price list

Oracle (ORCL) has quietly revealed pricing information for its long-awaited Fusion Applications, suggesting the software may now be generally available or will be soon following a six-year development process.

Fusion Applications are supposed to combine the best attributes from Oracle’s various ERP (enterprise resource planning) and CRM (customer relationship management) product lines into a next-generation suite that will be available in on-premises and cloud-based form.

The list gives pricing information on Fusion Applications modules for financials, procurement, PPM (project portfolio management), HCM (human capital management), SCM (supply chain management), CRM, PRM (partner relationship management) and GRC (governance, risk and compliance).

In many cases, it appears that Fusion Applications are priced the same as corresponding modules in Oracle’s other ERP suites. For example, Fusion Financials and E-Business Suite Financials are priced the same, at US$4,595 per application user license.

But a Fusion CRM Base license is priced at $4,910 per user, compared to $3,750 for a Siebel CRM Base license.

Meanwhile, Oracle has heavily emphasized the fact that Fusion Applications will feature pervasive BI (business intelligence) throughout the user experience, but that feature may have to be purchased separately. A number of Fusion Application categories on the price list include an entry for a “transactional business intelligence” license, priced at $2,000 per user.

Overall, an extensive pricing comparison is difficult to make, given the different names used for some of the Fusion Applications modules, as well as what appears to be a number of entirely new capabilities.

Then there’s the question of how meaningful price lists really are, given the heavy discounting that typically takes place during contract negotiations.

Customers shouldn’t bank on bargains with Fusion Applications, however, according to analyst Ray Wang , CEO of Constellation Research. “Prices are going up right now, unless the deals are competitive,” he said. “Oracle’s achieving pricing power in the market.”
