The Latest Disruption

The Latest Disruption

By Denis Pombriant on June 26, 2013

The stunning announcements that Microsoft and Salesforce.com would become more engaged with Oracle by using its middleware, hardware and associated other products has left many people agape and agog and for good reasons.  We are all more accustomed to covering the initiation of trends and their evolution than their resolutions. Initiations have terms associated with […]

Salesforce and Oracle in a Deal

Salesforce and Oracle in a Deal

By Denis Pombriant on June 25, 2013

To me it looks like Oracle is buying SFDC but to skirt the SEC and DOJ, and to avoid sticker shock, they’ll do a slow motion merger and present the market with a fait accompli in 9 years…

OOW Keynote, Larry Ellison

OOW Keynote, Larry Ellison

By Denis Pombriant on October 1, 2012
