Reduce operational costs: Discover how much your enterprise can save

Instead of spending time and money upgrading every six months, customers can reduce overall costs by managing their Java estate with a Java SE Subscription. Recent survey results from Java SE Subscription customers have shown cost savings of approximately 30% over a four-year period. The Java SE Subscription has been replaced by the Java SE Universal Subscription. The Java SE Universal Subscription provides all the benefits of the legacy product but includes broad internal usage rights and triage support for your entire Java portfolio, including third-party libraries and runtimes. Note: the following reports contain information that may still be applicable.
