My 2 cents on Oracle, Salesforce and the Cloud

My 2 cents on Oracle, Salesforce and the Cloud

By Chris Selland on December 21, 2011

Have been following the chatter closely on StockTwits, among the Enterprise Irregulars, and elsewhere after Oracle’s big miss. Here’s my 2 cents… Cloud/SaaS/OnDemand software (choose your buzzword) is a powerful long-termtrend – buyers are shifting strongly in this direction and it represents a tremendous market and investment opportunity.
