The reason is that apart from the magician himself, almost no one knows what "mechanism" is hidden in its box. So he can succeed again and again with his mysterious "black box". Then the magician relied on this extraordinary magic to perform in every city in the world to expand his influence. Many people wanted to learn from his "institution" but were strictly blocked by the "black box".

These enterprises use their own advantages to develop enterprises by using a black box model that others cannot copy.
Therefore, if every company wants to develop rapidly, it must find advantages that others cannot repeat itself. This is the basis of corporate competitiveness!
Oracle has developed a new price model for the products of the PeopleSoft it acquired. The new price model coexists with the existing price model, which is similar to the price model of Oracle's E-BusinessSuite software. Oracle determines the price of E-BusinessSuite based on the number of users, and publishes detailed information on the price and authorization on its website. In contrast, information about PeopleSoft products is not posted on the website. The price of PeopleSoft's products is determined according to different customers. Reference factors include the customer's turnover, number of employees and industry. PeopleSoft calls it a value-based pricing model. PeopleSoft’s authorized price calculation method is completely a "black box", and customers know only the final price.

The new PeopleSoft product pricing model will not only benefit customers who are buying new licenses, but also existing customers.
