  • The site publishes no distinction between subscription and perpetual licensing for its platform products
  • DER management is delivered as a separate IntelliFLEX DERMS product rather than as part of a single platform licence

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
