Understanding Oracle ERP Cloud Pricing

Oracle ERP Cloud pricing is determined by the number of users and the specific cloud services required. Additionally, specific “prerequisites” must be purchased based on your needs.

Here’s a breakdown:

  1. Base Pricing: Oracle’s Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Cloud service costs $625 per month or $7,500 per year.
  2. Minimum User Requirement: A minimum of ten users is required for purchase, even if you only need five. This means a base cost of $75,000 per year.
  3. Contract Duration: A 3-year contract is mandatory, bringing the total cost for the minimum ten users to $225,000 over three years.
  4. Additional Services: This pricing does not include any additional services that may be needed.

Let’s consider a larger-scale example:

Cost for 1000 users for five years of Oracle’s ERP Cloud service:

  • Without any discount: The cost would be $3,125,000. This is calculated by multiplying the monthly cost of $625 by the number of users (1000) and then by the number of years (5) in the contract.
  • With a 40% discount, 1000 users for five years would cost $1,875,000. This is calculated by applying a 40% discount to the total cost of $3,125,000.

Remember, this pricing does not include additional add-on services you may need. Always consider your specific requirements when calculating the cost of Oracle’s ERP Cloud service.

Step-By-Step Guide for Building your Oracle ERP Cloud Service

Building an Oracle ERP cloud service can be complex, but following these steps can ensure a smooth and successful implementation.

  1. Identify business requirements. Determining your business requirements is the first step in building an Oracle ERP cloud service. Understand the functionality you need and map it to the appropriate cloud service Oracle offers. This will help you select the right solution for your organization and ensure you have the necessary features and capabilities to support your business operations.
  2. Study Oracle cloud licensing. Once you have identified the appropriate cloud service, it is vital to understand its licensing requirements. Oracle has specific definitions for what constitutes a license, and it is crucial to understand these definitions to purchase the correct number of licenses.
  3. Before implementing your chosen cloud service, you must check if additional cloud services are required as prerequisites. This will ensure you have all the components to run the cloud service smoothly.
  4. Determine the number of non-prod environments. Another important consideration is the number of non-production environments included with your chosen cloud service. Determine how many of these environments you will need to comply with your organization’s policies and procedures.
  5. Negotiate the cloud contract. Finally, it is crucial to negotiate the cloud contract to ensure that you minimize spend and avoid overpaying. Review the contract in detail and arrange any necessary changes before signing.

Negotiating Oracle ERP Cloud

Negotiating Oracle ERP Cloud

Step-by-step guide for negotiating Oracle Cloud ERP contracts:

  1. Determine your specific business requirements independently of Oracle. Understand the functionality you need and map it to the appropriate cloud service Oracle offers. This will help you select the right solution for your organization and ensure you have the necessary features and capabilities to support your business operations.
  2. Research pricing and licensing options for Oracle ERP Cloud. Familiarize yourself with the pricing model and licensing requirements to understand what you will pay.
  3. Avoid sharing too much information with Oracle. Sharing too much information about your organization’s requirements and budget can limit your ability to negotiate competitive pricing. Be prepared to negotiate with Oracle using market research and other competitive scenarios.
  4. Review the contract in detail. Ensure you understand all the contract terms and conditions before signing. Ask questions and seek clarification on any areas that are unclear or vague.
  5. Negotiate any necessary changes to the contract. If you identify areas of concern or if there are clauses in the contract that you would like to negotiate, be prepared to discuss these with your Oracle representative.
  6. Be prepared to walk away. If you cannot reach a mutually beneficial agreement with Oracle, be prepared to walk away. Negotiating a better deal with a different vendor or exploring alternative solutions that better meet your needs may be possible.
  7. Look for discounts and promotions. Oracle may offer discounts and promotions for volume purchases or longer contract commitments. It’s important to discuss pricing options with an Oracle representative to determine if any discounts are available.
  8. Consider working with a third-party negotiator. If you are uncomfortable negotiating with Oracle, consider working with a third-party negotiator who can help you navigate the negotiation process and ensure you get the best deal possible.
