	October 15, 2007 Oracle Leads In Enterprise Apps Software Licensing And Pricing The Forrester Wave™ Vendor Summary, Q4 2007 by R "Ray" Wang with Sharyn Leaver, Elisse Gaynor, Meghan Donnelly

This is an excerpt

Executive Summary

The Forrester Wave™ evaluation of enterprise apps software licensing and pricing assesses vendors against two distinct requirement sets: small and medium-sized business (SMB) licensing requirements that favor user-based pricing, and large enterprise licensing requirements that value a choice of licensing metrics. Oracle's recent efforts to simplify pricing and increase consistency across the JD Edwards, Oracle E-Business Suite, PeopleSoft, and Siebel product lines has paid off. Oracle is one of two vendors that earned a leadership position in both the SMB and large enterprise editions of the survey. Oracle offers a wide range of user-based and usage-based metrics that meet the most complex customer requirements. From a strategy perspective, Oracle came in second with strong showings in general rules of engagement, selection policies, and maintenance policies. Oracle should be considered by enterprises of all sizes for its leadership position, policy openness, and strong support for the enterprise software licensee bill of rights (LBoR).
