Certinia · FinOps Profile

Certinia Finops

FinOps view of Certinia spend. Certinia (formerly FinancialForce) is licensed as a per-user, per-month subscription by module (ERP / Accounting, PSA, Revenue Management, Billing Central, Supply Chain, Services CPQ) on an annual or multi-year contract. Because Certinia runs as managed packages inside the customer's Salesforce org, total cost of ownership has three layers: the Certinia subscription, the underlying Salesforce Platform licensing the apps require, and implementation / integration services. There is no separate per-call API charge - Apex/SOAP API access is included with the licensed managed package - so API cost management is really about license (seat) optimization and Salesforce Platform consumption, not per-request metering.

It defines 3 billable meters, billed in USD, on a annual cycle, and pricing category subscription-based.
