PeopleSoft Portal: A new Name and a new Price

Oracle recently announced a new name and a new price for the PeopleSoft portal, known to many as the PeopleSoft Enterprise Portal and to others as the PeopleSoft Community Portal. The new name is: PeopleSoft Applications Portal, a description that Oracle hopes will clarify this product’s role, unifier of user experience and content, facilitator of user page data and pertinent related content. Oracle thought that having several names for the same functional product was confusing, a “rose by any other name” type of reasoning not withstanding, and has now consolidated its marketing and licensing into a single product.

What will this newly named product cost you? Oracle says less than before the rebranding. Price check on aisle…seriously, it could be worth asking your local Oracle representative.
