Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Oracle Parner Network
We are OPN members - we have one database for our internal use and pay full
price for it and support. In addition we have a bunch of purely development
databases - on differing platforms (linux, solaris) that we download and use
for no additional fee's.

Hey all,
While reviewing our annual maintenance agreement ($5,000) and considering an additional $30K license purchase, our savvy network admin suggested we look into Oracle's Partner Network. After some research, phone conversations, and pouring through the license agreement with a fine-tooth comb, I realized that's it's a win-win for us. Instead of spending $35,000 on renewals and new license purchases, we spend $2,000 to join OPN as a member associate and then pay $39.20 per seat for dev support (equivalent to our current Silver level) on the db suite. Yes, the catch is you have to be using Oracle solely for dev (and not for internally deployed apps that run your business) but it has turned out to be a no-brainer moneywise.
Curious if anyone else out there has had experience with this . . . not that I'm sceptical or anything, but we tried to find a catch and couldn't!
thanks
bill
