1235.0. "ORACLE Cost of Ownership" by OTOU07::TOMPKINS () Thu Feb 25 1993 15:55

I'm trying to find up to date cost of ownership data (ie: maintenance costs) 
for ORACLE on VAX 6000 class systems.  Does anyone have any pointers on where 
to look???

Thanks,

Bill.

    Bill,
    
    You might want to send mail to Gerry Duncan.  He might still have this
    information.  
    
    I went to a PowerBuilder seminar today and they ended the presentation
    with a customer's testamonial.  The only complaints the customer had
    was with Oracle.  They chose Oracle over Sybase running on NCR (UNIX ~
    open!).  They went with Oracle V7.0 for the 2PC and referential 
    integrity features in September.  They said the Oracle sales rep was 
    difficult to work with.  They installed Oracle V7.0-6 on 11/06.  The
    Oracle V7.0 COBOL compiler was not available until 1/31 and they got
    this directly from engineering.  They got the latest release of Oracle
    last week V7.0-12 which now supports the features they needed.  They
    said that the numerous updates to the product was challenging.  They
    would have a full time Oracle consultant on site throughout the project
    next time and they won't make decisions based on futures.
    
    Sure will be nice when Rdb is open!

    look at the oracle TPC submissions on a 6000 class machine. They list
    the 5 year coo. This includes the 5 year prepaid discounts etc.

	Oracle prices 1 year of maintenance as 15% of the product cost.

    Product cost being list price or what the customer paid. I believe it
    is list price.
