NaviSite on Monday announced it will offer monthly Oracle software licenses to its independent software vendor (ISV) customers through Oracle's SaaS for ISVs model. NaviSite is a Platinum level member of Oracle Partner Network (OPN).

With monthly Oracle software licensing, NaviSite ISV customers can take advantage of a flexible usage-based billing that accommodates changing business needs. The Oracle software licensing is seamlessly integrated into NaviSite's hosting services, and complements traditional licensing.

"ISVs deploying cloud applications are looking for a secure and scalable platform with a flexible investment model," said Kevin O'Brien, Senior Director, ISV and SaaS Strategy, Oracle. "Combining Oracle's SaaS for ISVs model with hosting services from NaviSite speeds time to market for ISVs' cloud applications."

"NaviSite is excited to have been selected as a North American hosting partner to bring this dynamic licensing model to our customers," said Brady Reiter, General Manager, Enterprise Architecture and Application Strategy, NaviSite. "Companies looking to build their applications on enterprise-class software in secure hosting facilities will greatly benefit from the ability to leverage software from Oracle and hosting services from NaviSite, all encapsulated in one monthly fee from a single vendor."
