OpenWorld Perspective

OpenWorld Perspective

By Denis Pombriant on October 10, 2012

I went to Oracle OpenWorld as a guest of Oracle and came away with a variety of observations that I can share.  Some of what I saw was under NDA and that will remain undisclosed though I have to tell you that I did not see any labs or next generation products beyond what my […]

NetSuite Takes OOW Stage

NetSuite Takes OOW Stage

By Denis Pombriant on October 4, 2012

This week Zach Nelson, CEO of NetSuite, a.k.a. Larry’s other company, took over the Marc Benioff chair as guest antagonist but given the relationship between the companies the vibe was more sedate.  For instance, no one went to the talk at the Lam Theater in Yerba Buena Gardens wondering if Nelson would be controversial or […]

Put the Open Back in Oracle Open World: Why Oracle Needs to Influence the Influencers

By Josh Greenbaum on October 4, 2012

I was finally enlightened as to why I find Oracle’s annual customer event, Oracle Open World, to be an increasingly frustrating and largely unfulfilling experience. For the last few years I have been laboring under the misperception that one of the goals of this event was to inform the influencers about key Oracle technology and […]

Oracle Cloud: A moon shot call

Oracle Cloud: A moon shot call

By Vinnie Mirchandani on October 4, 2012

I have waited for over a decade to see an enterprise vendor – IBM, HP, SunGard, EMC etc – detail how they would deliver to their promises of on-demand, utility, cloud computing. But they continue to persist with data centers designed during the Cold War in locations which often violate more recent tax, latency and […]

A Pictorial Tale of Two Conferences (and more)

A Pictorial Tale of Two Conferences (and more)

By Zoli Erdos on October 3, 2012

Recently I’ve attended two conferences two weeks apart in San Francisco, and the difference in style is shocking.  One did not even feel like a conference, rather a Festival – Woodstock, Mardi Gras, SXSW – your pick:-)  The other a decidedly more “closed” traditional corporate conference, so much so, that fellow commentators actually compared it […]

Oracle OpenWorld 2012 So Far

Oracle OpenWorld 2012 So Far

By Denis Pombriant on October 3, 2012

I’ve been at OpenWorld for two days as I file this but so far, I have little CRM oriented material.  CRM really kicks in on Wednesday when the company focuses on CX or customer experience the moniker that Oracle has given to much of its CRM focus. CX is good for what Oracle is about […]

OOW Keynote, Larry Ellison

OOW Keynote, Larry Ellison

By Denis Pombriant on October 1, 2012

I honestly thought I was going to have to wait longer to hear anyone from Oracle talk about seriously focusing the company’s hardware and software lines on the Cloud.  True, they’ve been saying cloud-like things for a couple of years but the pronouncements were features and functions that added something to the cloud discussion without […]

Oracle OpenWorld Takes the Stage

Oracle OpenWorld Takes the Stage

By Denis Pombriant on September 28, 2012

All right!  Recess is over!  If you went to Dreamforce last week you can be forgiven for taking a kind of victory lap in your head today because it was a truly great experience, besides if you are like me you are still tired.  One reason I think so many people like Dreamforce is its […]
