    Yes but you should see the gaffa tape underneath

    The problem with oracle is that they have swallowed so many BI products they are choking on integrating them all.

I've saved around 300k in the last 4 months. I welcome the new product.. Fusion M is what is leading the industry.

    All these huge companies...

    buying businesses to create further lock-in when the world trying to move away from vendor lock-in. Hubris, me thinks.

    Any IT lead that buys into this kind of lock-in, well, should fired for incompetence. Although, these decisions are often executive, so they should be fire for incompetence. Hell just Fire them all.

      Easy to sit and pontificate

      When they buy products that are near the top of the game performance and feature wise Vendor lock in is just a minor quibble in the scheme of things.

      Have you ever been involved in enterprise software purchasing or are you just a FOSSboi?
