Oracle is probably the most competent enterprise software sales organization other than microsoft, seems like that's a pretty reasonable decision if they focus on building out the sales team. And Google probably realizes enterprise sales is a huge problem for them which is why they're investing in these products to make it easier to grow the organization. Selling to enterprises is something Google needs to get good at if they want to grow long term, having strong products to sell helps attract talent and close sales which gives their team experience.

- colinmhayes 4y agoThe measure of success here isn't how good you feel. It's the amount of money they make relative to the quality of their product. Feels indisputable to me that oracle is at the top of the charts with respect to that ratio in enterprise software.
- scarface74 4y agoCompanies are doing their best to get away from Oracle. I don’t see too many IT people who have been so scarred by MS like they have with Oracle.
- sudosysgen 4y agoThat's because their software sucks and their sales team was amazing. Their software always sucked so the reason why companies are on Oracle to begin with is in large part due to very effective sales.
