Space Invasion @ Dreamforce

Space Invasion @ Dreamforce

By Zoli Erdos on November 17, 2013

Last year I made a bit of fun of Oracle, picking on the symbolism in their closed, walled conference setup vs. the open festival-like environment at Salesforce.com’s competing event.  Here’s a little pictorial reminder: Dreamforce did not even feel like a conference, rather a Festival – Woodstock, Mardi Gras, SXSW – your pick.  Fun.  Contrast that to Oracle’s […]

Is Oracle at a Junction Point in Its History?

Is Oracle at a Junction Point in Its History?

By Esteban Kolsky on October 28, 2013

I attended Oracle Open World a few weeks ago (and been traveling since, which is why I am just getting to this now – but then again, there is more information in this post than Just that catalyst event of #OOW13).  It brought together a few items that have been bouncing around my head for […]

Oracle OpenWorld 2013: A conundrum solved

Oracle OpenWorld 2013: A conundrum solved

By Paul Greenberg on October 7, 2013

For years I couldn’t resolve how and why Oracle approached the market so differently than other major apps providers. Finally I have. They aren’t truly an apps provider – at least not primarily.

Last Look at Oracle OpenWorld 2013

Last Look at Oracle OpenWorld 2013

By Denis Pombriant on October 3, 2013

The ghost of Anthony Lye presided over Oracle OpenWorld’s third-day customer experience, or CX, keynote. For CRM and related things, it was the moment I’d been waiting for. Lye is in robust health as far as I know, but he has been gone from Oracle for about a year. He was the architect of Oracle’s […]

Can we refocus on SAP customer needs?

Can we refocus on SAP customer needs?

By Vinnie Mirchandani on September 26, 2013

Reacting to the Oracle in-memory switch announcement, Vishal Sikka of SAP has commented “ it hasn’t been released yet, so please come back and talk to us when it is available” He is right. Makes for a lot of idle media gossip when we should be focused on SAP’s 200,000 application customers, many long-term ones, […]

Oracle BPM 11g – The View From Afar

Oracle BPM 11g – The View From Afar

By Sandy Kemsley on September 25, 2013

You know where I’m not this week? Oracle OpenWorld. You know why? Because after an email conversation where I said that I could attend if my travel expenses were covered, and having them register me for the conference, I was informed that “PR doesn’t cover any hotel rooms or air travel”. Whatever. However, I did […]

Is Oracle Burying the Lead? Why?

Is Oracle Burying the Lead? Why?

By Denis Pombriant on September 24, 2013

If you are Oracle, one of the challenges of OpenWorld is trying to fit everything into just three days.  The company has something like 3000 SKUs and it already splits the conference into multiple tracks and holds a conference within a conference for developers using Java.  And of course, there are zillions of breakout sessions […]

Oracle OpenWorld 2013 Sails On

By Denis Pombriant on September 24, 2013

Like any major trade show of long standing, OpenWorld has been in planning for a long time.  But this OpenWorld might be the most planned show of its kind ever because in addition to the extravaganza taking place in the Moscone Center, many of the hotels in the area and even in closed-off streets, an […]

Oracle OpenWorld 2013 Kicks Off

Oracle OpenWorld 2013 Kicks Off

By Denis Pombriant on September 23, 2013

Larry Ellison’s keynote at Oracle OpenWorld on Sunday night had many flourishes as well as reminders of previous OpenWorlds.  If this is your first experience with OpenWorld it is a TECHNOLOGY conference with, yes, a heavy emphasis on tech.  That included a preliminary address by Fujitsu, one of the sponsors, that managed to make watching […]

Event Report: Day 1 At Oracle Open World 2013: The Quest For Innovation #oow13

By R "Ray" Wang on September 23, 2013

Past Oracle Open Worlds Have Disappointed Customers and Partners Let’s be frank.  The past five years at Oracle Open World have disappointed even the faithful.   The over emphasis on hardware marketing and revisionist history on cloud adoption bored audiences.  The $1M paid advertorial keynotes had people walking out on the presenters 15 minutes into the […]
