So does this finally signal that Oracle is becoming way less powerful and relevant than they were before?
How many folks still actually use Oracle? And how many are trying to get rid of them?
- Axsuul 8y agoI think Amazon is just in a unique position to dog food their own technologies.
- oh-kumudo 8y agoI don't think Oracle is getting too many new customers. Their product is simply too expensive.
- r00fus 8y agoMany Oracle installs used to rely on the apps that ran on them like ERPs and the like. Oracle bought many of those companies (e.g. Peoplesoft) With cloud availability and many of the features of high end DBs commoditized, and the new strain of apps being cloud / SaaS, Oracle's available market has dried up.
- toyg 8y agoOracle has been threatened for a while, hence their desperate run to the cloud. Like IBM, though, they have enough fat to survive a very, very long winter; and, as cornered animals go, they are among the most vicious. Personally, I don’t expect to see Oracle die in my lifetime. They will keep cannibalizing other companies to stay alive, probably forever.
