Oracle Corp. released the latest PeopleSoft Component Global Price List last month. The list is elaborate and covers almost all components. This will be useful for the Project Managers who budget PeopleSoft investments and also analysts who prepare ROI on PeopleSoft implementations.

This is also very useful for the consulting companies who prepare the project plan and estimates for their clients. I had prepared ROI on PeopleSoft implementations for the new installations and also individual modules in the past. The document like this is very useful for such tasks.

Also it helps the analyst or PM to get a overall idea on the price on each component for each application. For example one may need CRM and for the next five years they may not use “Mobile Order Capture” or they may never use “Sales for Blackberry”. It helps in licencing only the components that are required and also decide on what to add and what not to add instead of going through the list of components in a different place.


Before quoting the numbers in your document or ROI calculator, one should read the last two pages of the document and understand the definitions mentioned there.

Also Oracle states that the list price for a term license is based on a specific percentage of the perpetual license price.

Oracle also provides “Incident Server Support Packages”, which is incident based web support for some limited product sets. This might be attractive to some customers who has complex setup and they don’t want to hire or contract specialists for managing such product sets.

This list does not contain details on “Oracle On Demand” [OOD]. Oracle published a seperate list in the begining of last month here. Note this price is list per month.

 Some of the price for OOD is pricy for average shops but larger corporates it might workout cheaper compared to the cost of consultants and developers in metros. For example the North Americal Payroll Tax updates is $50,000 per annum. For a year with 5 tax updates each tax update is about $10,000, which is very reasonable.

Does it include the tax update on Production instance only or does include the DEMO and TEST environments. I am not sure, one should get such details from Oracle. For a shop with heavy customisation on COBOL programs, it would be easier as they take more time for each tax updates than the shops which does not have small or no customisation in COBOL.

One can view the list from here.
