Oracle's SaaS for ISVs

Oracle's SaaS for ISVs new commercial model allows Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) to flexibly license the Oracle Platform for SaaS on a monthly basis. The new model enables software vendors to develop and deliver SaaS applications on the Oracle Platform for SaaS, and helps them scale their ongoing Oracle software investment based on their company growth. SaaS for ISVs licenses are paid on a monthly basis, with fees calculated as a percentage of Oracle's published processor based pricing for perpetual licenses (see Oracle's Global Technology Price List for more information).
Go to the SaaS Knowledge Zone on OPN for more information regarding SaaS for ISVs.
