Oracle's Agenda

I thought the article that was written was very weak in details. I watched the entire presentation from Oracle and it seems CNETs coverage completely missed it. Once again a journalist would rather throw their opinion of something or darker side of a story rather than just presenting the facts. It doesn't seem to matter what the topic is the reporter always seems to miss the mark and those in attendance know this. What has happened to honest fact reporting journalists.

Oracle just doesn't get it (still!)

15 minutes late starting with hundreds if not thousands of people online. Then nothing but CIOs in the customer panel. When will Oracle figure out that HR, Finance, Procurement, Production managers and executives are applications customers. Not CIOs!

As a happy PeopleSoft Enterprise customer, yesterday was scary. I felt good with their plans and even Project Fusion. I just get scared when Mr. Ellison and others suggest there are no culture differences between heritage Oracle Apps and PeopleSoft personnel, and then only have CIOs as representative customers. Did they invite HR VPs and get rejected? Did Oracle invite Plant Managers and get rejected? I just get really worried that Oracle is such a technology stack company that they believe CIOs are really their Enterprise Apps customers.

I assure you there are major cultural differences between the two staffs. Too bad heritage Oracle execs can't see the differences. I'm betting Oracle just made a bad $10B investment. Very sad. I now wish I had dropped out of the webcast due to late start.
