How much does a Chain Management System cost?

• I'm writing a presentation for my Computing Science course, and I need the prices for: Oracle supply chain management system. IBM supply chain management system. IFS World supply chain management system. I've searched every possible way on Google, the only way is to contact these companies directly but it's Sunday and most of their telephone lines are shut.

• Answer:

  The variables involved in this are numerous. Oracle SCM alone has 5 different versions available, all at different costs. Typically, the SCM software is sold per seat (user license). So you need to estimate how many concurrent users would be using the application. Assuming a small to medium size company, you can estimate $2000 to $2500 per seat, but then you also need to add in the price of the DBMS (Oracle DB, DB2, SQL Server, etc..) which also varies widely, and then you also need to add in a server to run it on.
