Oracle Utilities

  • Oracle Utilities does not appear on Oracle's published price list index, which covers Technology, eBusiness Suite, Fusion Applications, Engineered Systems, Business Intelligence, Siebel, PeopleSoft, JD Edwards, MySQL, Java and several cloud lines
  • Where Oracle does publish prices they are downloadable PDF price lists rather than an interactive pricing page
  • Oracle publishes separate commercial and US Public Sector price lists, so the commercial rate does not apply to government buyers
