"Excellent acquisition and integration machine"? From who's perspective is this? The customer? The employees? From employees perspective: At least in my org, integration is still sputtering along almost 2 years after I have left. Oracle bought another company shortly after us that we had to integrate with, in addition to Oracle proper. Over the last 2 years, most of the more competent engineers have left because they couldn't take the work or environment anymore. The end result was more work for everyone else and inability to find new employees due to the hot market. New feature development are practically non-existent. On the non-technical side, there was nothing excellent about integration. We lost vacation time/holidays. We didn't have wireless for probably 6 months at the office because our wireless wasn't "secure enough". Everything worked less well than it did before, from phones to the network. From the customer perspective: For the customers that don't care about whatever product you are integrating with, they haven't seen many new features because everyone is focused on integrations. There are now less people that understand the product focused on you. For the customers that do care about the integrations, at least in my org, the integrations have been so shaky I can't help but think there will be some buyers remorse. And again the quality of people supporting you is now lower.
