TechCrunch Wrote a Post, Oracle got Pissy. Sigh

TechCrunch Wrote a Post, Oracle got Pissy. Sigh

By Ben Kepes on August 13, 2012

So Alex Williams (a great guy, good friend and awesome cloud pundit) wrote a post a week or two ago entitled “Why The Open Cloud Wins And Oracle Loses When IT Gets Virtualized.” (subtle huh?) Oracle wasn’t overly happy at Alex’s comments and counter posted saying that “TechCrunch is Clueless about Oracle Cloud.” So… some […]

Why Workday Is Different by Design, and Why It Matters

Why Workday Is Different by Design, and Why It Matters

By Stan Swete on August 9, 2012

We use the object model to define both the structure of our applications (classes, relationships, and attributes) as well as the logic of our applications (methods). All parts of the object model are defined as metadata. Instead of the thousands of relational tables and millions of lines of code used to define traditional enterprise software, Workday applications consist of millions of metadata definitions

Silicon Angle Interview–What’s New and News in the Cloud

Silicon Angle Interview–What’s New and News in the Cloud

By Ben Kepes on July 6, 2012

While I was in Las Vegas a few weeks ago I took the opportunity to sit down with Alex Williams, Cloud editor of Silicon Angle, and Stu Miniman from Wikibon, to film a video interview. The interview cam at an interesting time – in the space of 24 hours we’d seen some large Cloud-related announcements […]

Trash talk and FUD harms the Cloud industry

Trash talk and FUD harms the Cloud industry

By David Terrar on June 11, 2012

Over here we are anticipating this year’s Cloud Computing World Forumin London, but over in the US Larry Ellison, Oracle’s founder and CEO since 1977, has pivoted his position on the Cloud along with “crossing a line” to trash key competitors.  Elsewhere old guard software giants like IBM are mis-communicating the Cloud messages.  How does […]

Microsoft Does It Right And Oracle Claims They Are Right

Microsoft Does It Right And Oracle Claims They Are Right

By Krishnan Subramanian on June 8, 2012

This week saw cloud related announcements from two software behemoths from the traditional era, Microsoft and Oracle. Microsoft rebooted Windows Azure making it more palatable to modern day developers and started playing nice on the interoperability game. Oracle re-announced their public cloud strategy and, in the process, tried to convince users that they should see […]

The Rise of Two Tier ERP and Larry Ellison’s NetSuite Intentions

The Rise of Two Tier ERP and Larry Ellison’s NetSuite Intentions

By Ben Kepes on June 1, 2012

A few weeks ago I was in San Francisco for a few days for NetSuite’s SuiteWorld conference [Disclosure: NetSuite funded my travel and accommodation to attend]. One of the announcements at SuiteWorld was that of CTO Evan Goldberg who talked about “Multi Book Accounting”, as my colleague Phil Wainewright explains; [multi book accounting is] for […]

NetSuite and Oracle–Competition or Acquisition?

NetSuite and Oracle–Competition or Acquisition?

By Ben Kepes on March 19, 2012

It’s plainly clear that traditional software vendors can no long rubbish this new breed of Cloud vendors. While once Oracle, Microsoft and SAP could pour scorn at the little pests sniping at their ankles – today we have some impressive vendors waiting in the wings who look increasingly likely to become the mega-vendors of the […]

As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. Well, I am not sure, but this is what happens when I don’t have time to write:-)  If you are in Enterprise Software, you know what’s coming at you … resistance is futile. Now, for the real news on Oracle’s acquisition of Taleo, I refer […]

When Did the Sun Set?

When Did the Sun Set?

By Dave Michels on December 21, 2011

The story of Sun Microsystems is a great one. It has great characters (McNealy), great battles (open vs. proprietary, David vs. Goliath), incredible vision (the dawn of the dot.com), drama (the bust of the dot.com), and tragedy (the Oracle acquisition). Oh yeah, one of the best of tech logos. Well, the drama continues. Oracle reports […]

Consumer and enterprise IT company analysis

Consumer and enterprise IT company analysis

By Martijn Linssen on November 29, 2011

In January this year I did an analysis of “classical” US IT companies: Google, Microsoft and Apple, which are targeting consumers, and Oracle, SAP, IBM and HP, which are targeting companies. Yes that’s a fairly big generalisation but please allow me to do so… This is the update which includes the next year, I need […]

Cutting Through the Fog of Cloud Computing Definitions

Cutting Through the Fog of Cloud Computing Definitions

By Frank Scavo on November 7, 2011

In recent years, the term “cloud computing” has been used and abused by vendors and their marketing groups to denote just about anything the vendor offers other than on-premise systems. Analysts too have piled on, each offering their own definition of cloud computing. This 2009 Wall Street Journal article outlined the confusion. The result has been fruitless […]

Oracle Buys RightNow

Oracle Buys RightNow

By Ben Kepes on October 24, 2011

Last month it was Salesforce buying customer support solution Assistly. This month it’s Oracle buying RightNow, a more mature, but similarly positioned player. The deal, worth around the $1.5B mark, fills the void that Oracle had in terms of customer-facing engagement tools. While Oracle does have CRM on-demand, this acquisition

Oracle Introduces Cloud and Social. My Perspective

By Ben Kepes on October 6, 2011

  by  Oracle_Photos_Screenshots    During a keynote that saw Larry Ellison make up for his abysmal performance of a few days before, and before bigger news events in Silicon Valley bought the tech world to its knees, a number of announcements were made with the usual Ellison flourishes. Curiously these two massive announcements were made towards the […]

The Cloud Must Go On. Watch the Banned Benioff Keynote Live.

By Zoli Erdos on October 5, 2011

The best thing that may have happened to Salesforce.com at Oracle Open World is getting CEO Marc Benioff’s keynote cancelled.   Oracle and Larry Ellison are now officially the Bad Guys (opinions are split on whether Larry is the Emperor, Darth Vader or God), @Benioff is the oppressed Folk Hero, Salesforce.com got thei $1M keynote […]
