This gives us an even larger opportunity than before. What we're seeing now is that Oracle is going to be very busy internally. Oracle has a lot of work to do to digest PeopleSoft and now Siebel. That's an opportunity for us.

John Schiff
Basically, there hasn't been a lot of motivation for companies who have databases, like Oracle and IBM, to do anything to make it easy for people to not care about databases. I'm not sure you're going to see Oracle or IBM do anything any time soon in this area because it's against their interests.
Marge Breya
They were mostly worried about Oracle (bilking) them on maintenance costs.
Bruce Richardson
Oracle has a huge R&D effort ahead in merging the functionality from multiple CRM products into Fusion Applications, as well as certifying any new modules across each of the ERP platforms. This will require a very delicate balancing act.

Melissa Eisenstat
We are going to take the hit and basically you are going to get the Oracle database license for free with one year's support. The bigger the machine, the cooler this gets.
Scott Mcnealy

Robert Stimson
This is a very critical issue and it's disappointing that Oracle hasn't fixed it, especially since the workaround is rather simple.

Oracle won't pay too much. It's only going to buy as long as the price is right.
John Difucci
The cultural disintegration at Oracle is pretty substantial. They haven't even been able to integrate PeopleSoft yet.
Paul Greenberg
Many investors are fearful that oracle will acquire this that and the other thing. But my contention is they need to. The software industry is plagued by having too many companies. There are far too many duck hunters for the number of ducks out there.
Bert Hochfeld
We have a stated mission to interact with all systems. You want to know about Oracle, there's another Larry [Ellison] you need to talk to.
Larry Barbetta
Critical Oracle vulnerabilities are being discovered and disclosed at an increasing rate, and exploit tools and proof-of-concept code are appearing more regularly on the Internet.
Rich Mogull
It's hard to judge just yet how well Oracle has done this without taking a closer look, but at least it suggests that they understand the problem.
Richard Ptak
Middleware is important because the capabilities of the applications are based upon the middleware functions. Oracle exploits some of its database technology and will leverage middleware and database capabilities into the applications.
Paul Hamerman
The question is how much of that weakness has been caused by Oracle itself and does it go away once the deal actually closes.

Ross Hopkins

Yossi Hasson
Oracle 8i is designed to be an Internet operating system.
Mark Jarvis
They have to pick up the pace in every area. Applications are an opportunity for Oracle to improve profitability but not necessarily drive up revenue. The company can't be considered healthy if database license revenue doesn't pick up.
Tony Ursillo
Oracle is a tough place to work; it's like a battle every day.
David Rudow
You get the Oracle database and you get the Oracle tool that comes with it.

Charles Ryan
It all depends on guidance for the fourth quarter. If it isn't that exciting, then Oracle maybe doesn't have to raise its bid.

Establishing Oracle Fusion Middleware is vitally important for Oracle, ... They can't buy companies in every vertical.

Rich Marcello
I believe [Oracle] bought a heck of an asset here.
