Lyle Ekdahl and others from the JDE management team have set up a Twitter account @OracleJDEdwards. I have to give them credit for trying something new and trendy.

IBM get i pricing right for JD Edwards

Reflections on OpenWorld

Posted: Oct 14, 2010

In the coming months I will attempt to bring more clarity to the issues each raises:    Were Fusion Applications actually announced?   If so, it was the stra...

In an email to the Wall Street Journal Ellison said "HP had several good internal candidates…but instead they pick a guy who was recently fired because he di...

Reading Ellison’s Palm (er his iPhone)

Posted: Oct 13, 2010

Oracle provides outsiders with so little information beyond the name, rank and serial numbers of its offerings that those of us trying to figure out what it is up to need to resort to psychic or occult techniques. Having too little hard information to go on, I will offer my read of what I heard and saw this week at OpenWorld safe in the knowledge t...

Show and tell time at OpenWorld

Posted: Oct 13, 2010

My grandson’s first grade class often starts the day with show and tell time. The same is true for the keynote sessions at OpenWorld. As I write this Michael Dell is up at the front of the class telling an embarrassingly small percentage of the 40,000+ people here about Dell’s product line. Right now he is droning on about the C4-10X a ...

The fog begins to clear at OpenWorld

Posted: Oct 13, 2010

Oracle’s strongest alliance unravels

Posted: Oct 13, 2010

HP has just jumped to the head of the line of major IT vendors that do not like Oracle leaving IBM, SAP, Microsoft and many others to fight over second place. The unraveling of Oracle’s strongest partnership has come very fast. It started when Oracle bought Sun and backed out of its joint agreement with HP to develop Exadata – a sin tha...

Mark Hurd hired by Ellison to replace Charles Phillips

Posted: Oct 13, 2010

Oracle CEO Larry Ellison likes to surround himself with very smart people that he knows, likes and trusts. When a long time tennis partner, personal friend and proven top executive suddenly became available it was like Christmas in August. Mark Hurd’s untimely exit from HP represented great timing for Oracle. Apparently Oracle co-President Ch...
