Take Advantage of BEA Legacy Pricing Before it's Gone

For a limited time, if you've previously bought software from BEA you may be eligible to purchase these products off Oracle's BEA Legacy Price list, which could mean a savings of up to 50% over the current pricing structure! 
 

Check Out this Dramatic Cost Savings
Oracle Weblogic Server Enterprise edition vs. Legacy BEA Weblogic Server Premium
Assume an 8 Core CPU:
 
Oracle Multicore Pricing
Requires 6 WLS CPU at $25,500/CPU
Final List Price = $125,000   

BEA Legacy Mulitcore Pricing
Requires 2.5 WLS CPU at $25,500/CPU
Final List Price = $63,750
 
Savings With Legacy Pricing= 50% 
 

Bluenog has already helped many customers reduce their BEA/Oracle software costs by leveraging this opportunity. Let us help you! But you need to act quickly as the Legacy Pricing expires May 15, 2009. All orders placed after that date will be subject to the new pricing structure.

 

Contact us today to determine your eligibility for this fantastic opportunity.
