Governments, universities, school systems, etc.
When it's other people's money, or if you're swimming in so much cash flow that the occasional six-figure-surprise licensing visit is a rounding error, Oracle is a fantastic choice!
- Jackypot 8y agoI interviewed for a company which made auditing software for government departments. I asked why they chose Oracle and they explained that governments get a hefty discount, so it was actually more cost-effective than the alternatives (e.g. enterprise SQL Server). So the motivation can actually be the opposite!
