Behind each product we mention the version numbers, the most recent updates are listed first.
What are the licensing costs of Siebel CRM, Oracle Service Cloud and Oracle Eloqua?
It is difficult to determine exactly what a license of Siebel CRM, Oracle Service Cloud and Oracle Eloqua costs because it depends on the country, the number of users (also consider the amount of CPUs for server versions), the connectors to data sources, and at what point in the year you request a quote. If you request a quote just before the end of the fiscal period of Oracle, you can probably get a decent reduction in the license cost. In addition, it makes sense running the software in the cloud, for the most part, you only pay for your consumption then. The purchase cost of Siebel CRM, Oracle Service Cloud and Oracle Eloqua may not be the largest cost item, but maintenance and support do put a strain on your budget each year.

In addition, documentation may lag behind current events.
