Oracle Flashes Marketing Muscle

Oracle Flashes Marketing Muscle

By Denis Pombriant on April 29, 2011

Oracle scored points in its ongoing battle with Salesforce.com for primacy in the CRM world.  Personally, I am not sure it matters much because the two companies’ approaches to CRM are so different.  Coke or Pepsi?  Harley-Davidson or Honda?  Who knows?  At the end of the day, it’s about helping a customer realize a vision […]

Putting some English on the Enterprise

CloudBlog caught up with Phil Wainewright, a leading pundit on all things cloud, in London during Cloudforce.
