What Oracle Argus charges

Oracle does not publish a price for Argus. It licences the system by case volume, not by user, with on-premise licences or cloud subscriptions in Basic and Advanced tiers.

How the bill is built

group

Case volume

Oracle licences Argus by the number of cases you book in, not by user. A product launch, recall or busy month of literature cases can move the bill.

extension

Licence and deployment

Argus is available as an on-premise licence or a cloud subscription, in Basic and Advanced tiers. Oracle does not publish prices for these options, so you need a private quote.

build

Service provider access

Smaller sponsors commonly rent Argus access through a service provider that hosts the system and processes cases. The bill includes access to the database as well as the provider’s people.

autorenew

Validation and upgrades

Upgrading a validated safety database involves test scripts, validation documents and planned downtime. The work falls to your team or your vendor, on the vendor’s timetable.

Your annual Argus bill

Oracle does not publish an annual price for Argus, so you cannot calculate a public yearly figure. The bill is quoted privately and driven by case volume. A product launch, recall or busy month of literature cases can move it. If you rent access through a service provider, the charge also covers access to its database and its people.

What you are really paying for

dashboard

A global-scale system

Argus is sized for companies lodging cases in dozens of countries every day. If you handle a few dozen Australian and New Zealand cases a year, you may be paying for capacity you do not use.

Access through a provider

Many smaller sponsors rent Argus access through a vendor that hosts the system and processes cases. You pay for access to the database as well as the vendor’s people.

history

Configured reports and upgrades

Your line listings and dashboards are configured for you, so a question without a prepared report may need to wait for the vendor. Upgrades also bring validation work, testing and planned downtime.

Questions

Oracle Argus pricing, answered

How does Oracle work out an Argus quote? expand_more

Oracle does not publish an Argus price. It licences the system by the number of cases you book in, rather than by user, and provides on-premise licences or cloud subscriptions in Basic and Advanced tiers. Smaller sponsors may rent access through a service provider.

Does Argus charge per user or per case? expand_more

Oracle licences Argus by case volume, not by user. The number of cases you book in shapes the quote, so a launch, recall or busy period for literature cases can affect your bill.

What can make the yearly Argus bill go up? expand_more

There is no public yearly price to compare. Case volume is a driver, and smaller sponsors may also pay a service provider for database access and case processing. Validation work and upgrades can add work for your team or vendor.
